Yet the durability of the centrists’ victory remains up for debate. The two-day budget showdown revealed the struggles of such a disparate bloc of Democrats — a mix of fiscal and social conservatives, vulnerable “frontliners” and some who hold deep blue seats — as they seek to maximize their influence.
the New Jersey Democrat had had a conversation. During the Sunday leadership call, Hoyer — who had been in close contact with the rebels for many days — suggested it was time for the speaker to directly engage Gottheimer, despite his rabble-rousing reputation that had long alienated many in the caucus.
“A win?” Pelosi responded Tuesday when asked whether Gottheimer had scored a significant victory. “We’re not talking about a win. We’re talking about passing a rule.” “I think a lot of this was probably unnecessary. We could have kept the process moving forward, but that’s called legislating,” said Rep. Ami Bera , a senior member of the New Democrats.
“I can’t explain why the serious negotiations didn’t happen until the eleventh hour,” Murphy said in an interview Tuesday, after backing the budget on the floor. “I always find that people who wait until the very last minute to do their homework, let's just say they end up staying up very late.”

I’m sorry, what? What did they pull off exactly?
This was no victory for these 'moderates.' They got swatted like flies and they will all be primaried after this little stunt.
So Politico is disconnected from reality and going down the Faux news rabbit hole. Time to unfollow.
The correct term is corporatist, there is not a moderate or centrist in the bunch.

“….a rebellious group of party moderates….” Don’t make the mistake thinking this is a one off. These folks have been rebelliously moderate since their high school days of being at home and in bed before curfew.
Wow -- what a distortion of what happened. This is another Pelosi chess move. She is the boss of the House.
These guys aren’t centrists, they’re corporate hacks
Is this your attempt at “Dems in disarray?”
Lordy. And for most of my adult life, I considered myself a moderate. What the hell was I thinking?
They did nothing and liked it.
Really? Sigh.
