Five Democrats the left plans to target
Progressives are preparing to try and clear out Democrats they say are hampering their ability to remodel the country while their party still controls Congress.
They see the skeleton Build Back Better (BBB) package and failed voting rights bill as warning signs that a few stubborn lawmakers can – and, if given the chance, will – block and blow up the liberal vision they had dreamed about enacting when President Biden took office. When things fell further apart last week, leaving the president and congressional Democrats scrambling for a way to advance their two main priorities, progressives saw a clear fix to all of it: primary challenges ahead of November. |
