Blue Dogs

Blue Dogs are a group of moderate to conservative Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives, primarily from southern states. They typically hold centrist views, balancing progressive ideas with more traditional or conservative positions on issues like fiscal policy and social topics. Historically, Blue Dogs have aimed to appeal to voters who are not strongly aligned with the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party, often emphasizing pragmatic solutions and bipartisanship. Their presence reflects the diverse political landscape within the party, especially in areas where more conservative policies are favored by constituents.
