DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Screenshot: Senior Democrats are rebooting an influential foreign policy group to help potential 2028 presidential candidates and bring together national security specialists who could staff the next Democratic administration, Axios has learned.
National Security Action has picked Maher Bitar, who has worked for Democrats on Capitol Hill and in the White House, to lead the group going into the 2028 primary season.
Why it matters: Founded in 2018, National Security Action (NSA) influenced Democrats' messaging on foreign policy in the 2020 election and ultimately helped staff much of President Biden's national security team.
That included then-National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who co-founded NSA.
The group aims to have a similar influence in the 2028 election and the next Democratic administration.
Driving the news: Bitar, the national security adviser and chief counsel to Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), told Axios the group will host retreats, conduct polling, and be a "hub" to think through the party's foreign policy "to be ready for 2028 and beyond."
Bitar was coordinator for intelligence and defense policy on Biden's National Security Council.

an employee pipeline doesn't make Bitar the lead into 2028. campaign staffing and transition-team vetting still decide foreign policy roles.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Correct. "Populist left" is a misnomer; the only thing that makes them "populist" is that they're anti-NATO and anti-Israel.
It's always dangerous when the dissident right talks about allying with them. They're trading a fake perception of foreign control (Israel) for a very real set of foreign countries bent on destroying America. This includes China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, and many others. Just because they're anti-NATO doesn't make them anti-global-order. The populist left wants to abolish borders and install tyrants; it's their religion.
Singham / CCP alone has routed 300 million dollars towards revolutionary disruption all over the world.
There's no alliance with the populist left. They'll kill you first.
