The Democratic Party‘s centrist wing is escalating its fight against the Democratic Socialists of America, with the think tank and advocacy organization Third Way launching a $15 million campaign to blunt the socialist movement’s growing influence ahead of the 2028 presidential race.

Third Way is planning to fund public opinion research, opposition research, digital advertising, and outreach to activists and influential party figures to counter the DSA’s growing influence and prevent it from becoming synonymous with the Democratic Party’s brand.
