Interview with Jonathan Cowen. Cowen: “We are now in the middle of a multiyear campaign to get someone more moderate nominated for president, and to make sure to try to block a left-wing candidate. Our view is that parties change direction around their presidential candidates, not around anything else. So, we wanted to gather people around the candidates who could roughly fall in our lane, not the far-left lane, alongside the people from early primary states and the people from battleground states, and get them into a place where two things can happen. One: We can make our case about what direction the party should go in. Two: They can spend lots of time with each other.” (03/04/26)
