Traditionally,conservative Democrats have been elected to office from the Southern states,rural areas,the Rust Belt,and the Midwest.

The conservative coalition,founded in 1937,was an unofficial alliance of members of the United States Congress which brought together the conservative wings of the Republican and Democratic parties to oppose President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal. In addition to Roosevelt,the conservative coalition dominated Congress for four presidencies,blocking legislation proposed by Roosevelt and his successors. By 1937,the conservatives were the largest faction in the Republican Party which had opposed the New Deal in some form since 1933. Despite Roosevelt being a Democrat himself,his party did not universally support the New Deal agenda in Congress. Democrats who opposed Roosevelt's policies tended to hold conservative views,and allied with conservative Republicans. These Democrats were mostly located in the South. According to James T. Patterson:"By and large the congressional conservatives agreed in opposing the spread of federal power and bureaucracy,in denouncing deficit spending,in criticizing industrial labor unions,and in excoriating most welfare programs. They sought to 'conserve' an America which they believed to have existed before 1933."

The Democratic Party of the United States is a big tent party composed of various factions. The four most prominent modern factions are the liberals,moderates,progressives,and conservatives. The liberal faction supports modern liberalism and social liberalism that began with the New Deal in the 1930s and continued with both the New Frontier and Great Society in the 1960s. The moderate faction supports Third Way politics that includes center-left social policies and center-right fiscal policies. The progressive faction supports social democracy and left-wing populism. The conservative faction supports centre-right policies. The traditional conservative Democratic faction lost much of its influence in the 21st century as the South realigned towards the Republican Party,though a subsequent realignment starting in the 2010s brought a new set of moderate to conservative voters disillusioned with Trumpism in the Republican Party,prominently including many suburban women,into the Democratic tent.
