The policy platform adopted Monday at the Democratic National Convention is unlikely to sway many voters, but it does offer some insights into how the party is attempting to move toward the center on key issues such as immigration.
It also is a different type of platform from those at past Democratic conventions in that the 2024 version spends a lot of time criticizing the other party.
“It is a very odd and unconventional party platform,” said Austin Sarat, a political science professor at Amherst College.
