Thank you for having me.
Great to be here.
Fortunately, I think it isn't very confusing.
It's pretty clarifying.
Oh.
We've had two races in two weeks.
in states that are presidential battleground states, reasonably representative of the country politically in different ways, where the progressive left has essentially been tied a little bit ahead or a little bit behind with their establishment rivals.
This is pretty different from what we've seen over most of the last 10 years, when the progressive left has basically only been reliably competitive in heavily democratic, young, highly educated urban areas.
Now, that can happen twice in two weeks, after all, in presidential battleground states, and therefore perhaps even nationwide, that still comes with limits.
Uh, there are large parts of these states where the progressive candidates aren't faring very well, and that suggests there are also large parts.
parts of the country where the progressive left wouldn't fare very well.
But this represents a really significant improvement in their standing within the Democratic Party compared to where they seemed to stand just a few years ago.
I it's it's a little challenging to define.
We don't just mean progressives after all, right?
Progressives have been winning democratic primaries for decades.
Half of Democrats in Congress could be said to be progressives in some form or another.
We mean a new kind of young activist backed candidate of, for lack of a better word, the progressive left.
I think the core of this new activist progressive left are the self-identified democratic socialists, Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and their allies.
Beyond them, though, there is a group of politicians who looks a lot like them, but does not necessarily characterize themselves as democratic socialist.
Like who?
