🇺🇸-Rashida Tlaib cruises to her Democratic primary win, setting up a fifth term — and capping a primary season where progressives have tightened their grip on the party's future. The Squad member's victory comes as the Democratic Socialists of America expand their influence far beyond established figures. Socialist candidates unseated two longtime incumbents this cycle: Rep. Espaillat in New York (the Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair) and 30-year veteran Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado. It's a stark reversal from 2020 when "moderate" Democrats like Abigail Spanberger warned the party to never say "socialism" again. Tlaib and her allies argued then that progressive platforms would define the party's future. The primary results suggest they were right.
