The New Democrat Coalition is a caucus in the House of Representatives of the United States Congress made up of Democrats, primarily liberals and centrists, who take a pro-business stance and a liberal-to-moderate approach to fiscal matters. Most members hold socially liberal views.[8]

As of April 15, 2024, the New Democrat Coalition is composed of 99 members (including 1 non-voting member), making it the largest House Democrat ideological caucus, followed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.[12][13]
