A group of prominent Democrats met Tuesday to discuss building a forward-looking policy agenda that goes beyond opposition to President Trump, according to NPR.
A group of top Democrats from across the country met on Tuesday to discuss how the party can define a policy agenda that goes beyond opposition to President Trump, NPR reported.
The original report did not substantiate several specific details that circulated afterward about the gathering—such as that it took place in Washington, that it was hosted at the Center for American Progress, or that the conversation centered on housing, child care and responses to artificial intelligence.
Separately, the Center for American Progress held its CAP IDEAS conference on May 19, 2026, an online event featuring multiple sessions focused on affordability and policy proposals, including a panel billed as “New Ideas To Lower Costs” with Reps. Greg Casar, Maxwell Frost and Lauren Underwood, and another session on artificial intelligence featuring California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
NPR’s version of the story that was publicly accessible through a partner site did not include the quote attributed to Casar in the short article text that was available there.
