LEESBURG, Virginia — Democrats’ plan to retake the House in 2024 is building on the electoral success of defending abortion access and championing a broader agenda of defending freedoms.

During their annual conference in Leesburg, Virginia, last week, House Democrats outlined their messaging strategy, expressing confidence in their ability to seize control of the lower chamber as Republican leaders struggle to unify all corners of their conference. Democrats hope to seize on that intraparty tension to declare themselves the party of stability and freedom.
