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?
Dr.
Abdul El Sayed in Michigan is one great example.
He was endorsed by both.
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, but he doesn't call himself a Democratic Socialist.
But it's hard to see why he's not a Democratic Socialist.
He doesn't distinguish himself from them on the issues in many ways, and he's comfortable allying with them and importantly allying with them against the mainstream of the Democratic Party.
Yeah, there are a lot of different ways to define it, but they stand apart from not only the establishment moderate in the Democratic Party, but also the kind of progressive candidate who's been winning in the Democratic Party for a long time.
I think the most obvious thing we learned is that yes, the progressive left can compete in these states.
Now it's worth noting that each of these races are idiosyncratic primaries.
They have different candidates with different strengths and weaknesses.
In Michigan, in a primary for US Senate, Democrat Dr.
Abdul El Sayed ran a campaign that received a lot of enthusiasm from progressives across the country.
