National Security Action Prepares for Next Election Cycle
Senior Democrats are rebooting the influential foreign policy group National Security Action to help potential 2028 presidential candidates and bring together national security specialists. The group, which was founded in 2018, aims to have a similar influence in the 2028 election and the next Democratic administration. National Security Action will be led by Maher Bitar, who has worked for Democrats on Capitol Hill and in the White House, and will host retreats, conduct polling, and serve as a hub for thinking through the party’s foreign policy. This development was first reported by Axios.
