In Midst Of All Out Civil War, Democrats Are Killing Themselves

As Democrats search a pathway to keep their congressional majorities in November’s elections, they won’t only campaign against Republicans. In some elections, they will first compete against one another, as some activists wish to push the party to the left.

Last week, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries of New York revealed a strategy to save incumbent Democrats from challenges within the party, as some of those challenges gain traction.

Two of those intraparty challenges come from Justice Democrats, the same Political Action Committee that helped jumpstart the career of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The PAC proclaims that “the squad is growing,” a reference to far-Left House lawmakers Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley. The group, formed in part by former Bernie Sanders staffers, says it is “working to transform the Democratic Party” but supporting primary challengers “against out-of-touch Democratic incumbents” and holding Democratic lawmakers “accountable to our issues.”

The group helped organize Ocasio-Cortez’s actions to unseat Democratic incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley in 2018, who was the No. 4 Democrat in the House at the time. But Ocasio-Cortez was one of 12 candidates recruited by the PAC that cycle and the only one who went on to win her general election. Other candidates, it endorsed that year were elected to Congress as well.

Now, the PAC is seeking to expand the Squad by focusing on entirely Liberal blue-state lawmakers as Liberal activists become frustrated with Congress and President Joe Biden’s Administration and what they see as a lack of action on some of their key issues, including failure to pass Build Back Better, social spending and climate bill.

In New York, Justice Democrats are targeting Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a longtime lawmaker on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, by backing her primary challenger, community organizer, and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, Rana Abdelhamid.

Abdelhamid told the New York Times last year that Maloney has been in office “longer than I’ve been alive” and that her case against the incumbent “is that Carolyn Maloney is not a Progressive.”

Maloney contended that characterization, calling herself “a recognized Progressive national leader” in her House biography.

The district is just a few miles from Ocasio-Cortez’s, and Justice Democrats recite its previous victory.

In Illinois, Justice Democrats will support a primary challenge from Kina Collins, a gun violence prevention activist, against Rep. Danny Davis in the state’s 7th Congressional District, the most Democratic in the state.

Both candidates slammed the party to support incumbents, claiming the districts they are running in seek more Liberal representation.
