Democratic political organization Tomorrow Together announced a new research and outreach effort focused on artificial intelligence (AI) as the party prepares for the 2028 presidential cycle. The initiative, funded at $1.1 million, will begin during the "What's Next" conference in Denver, where Democrats are celebrating recent midterm victories and planning future strategies.
Targeting voter concerns
Chief program officer Maddie Kriger said the group expects AI to become a pivotal issue for voters, noting the potential for “more and worse AI incidents” in the coming year. The organization hopes to position Democrats as the party advocating for regulatory guardrails, contrasting with President Donald Trump’s opposition to AI regulation.
Political context
Data analyst David Shor told the Denver audience that AI is a rare issue where voters across party lines favor regulation. Co‑founder Karthik Ganapathy and fellow co‑founder Rob Flaherty argued that the party now holds an advantage on the topic, citing Trump’s stance as a catalyst for Democratic leadership on technology policy.
The effort follows Tomorrow Together’s previous $6.5 million spend in the midterms to push for limits on AI and data centers. The new initiative underscores the party’s broader push to embed AI policy into its messaging ahead of the next election cycle.
