what does that have to do with this primary? where does the dccc fit specifically in this race?

the dccc wants to keep their majority by discouraging primary challenges. but they cant stop people from running on their own volition (thats how democracy works).

there are a vast amount of dem congressional candidates with primary challenges nationwide. obviously not all of the incumbents are progressives. is the dccc somehow responsible for those too? how does the fact that the dccc is protecting/endorsing progressive incumbents play into that?
