Many of the most popular Democrats on Capitol Hill are progressives. So what happened to all the moderates?

Democratic leaders believe Republicans are exploiting the district-drawing process known as gerrymandering.

“I think the reason that we’ve lost some more moderate members of the Democratic caucus is due to really unfair Republican gerrymandering,” the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Spokesperson Meredith Kelly tells Fox News.

As the DCCC tries to flip the House in 2018, Kelly believes Republican retirements give them an edge.

“There’s a number of common themes with the types of people that are retiring,” Kelly said of the seven Republicans who plan to retire. “I’m not willing to call them moderate, but they’re at least people that are pragmatic and value compromise.”
