"Progressives on the rise as Jamaal Bowman officially defeats Eliot Engel"


          

https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/bowman-defeats-engel-new-york-democratic-primaries-2020_n_5ef22705c5b663ecc8544563?ri18n=true&ncid=engmodushpmg00000004

This was a decisive victory for Jamaal and for candidates unabashadely supporting Medicare for All, tuition-free public college, a Green New Deal and racial equity. It's not getting much media attention but the NY, Virginia and recent Texas primaries have seen real progressive strength. Mondaire Jones won in NY https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-congress-jones/mondaire-jones-openly-gay-and-black-gets-democratic-nod-for-u-s-house-seat-idUSKCN24F2ZD AOC blew out her challenger and Charles Booker got extremely close in Kentucky. The biggest upcoming progessive races to watch are Rashida Tlaib in Michigan, Cori Bush in Missouri, Paula Jean Swearengin in W.V. Jen Perelman against DWS in Florida and imo the crown jewel would be Shahid Buttar taking out Pelosi in California.

Aug 16th 2020
271
                          Whiter isn’t the metric. It’s Peabodys, pulitzers, etc
Aug 17th 2020
