This race is going to be a next big primary fight between pro-Israel interests, and anti-war & pro-Palestine voters. Remember that Democrat who compared Israel's "genocide" to the "N-word"? Her opponent is Chris Rabb, the candidate being endorsed here, who used the "G-word."

We’re proud to announce our newest endorsement of the cycle: @chrisrabb in #PA03! With @WorkingFamilies, @kendraforphilly, & @NicForPhilly, we're uniting behind the clear, progressive choice for the bluest district in America. Rep. Rabb is the leader Philly needs in Congress.

@SuperiorElliot5 in 2020 biden absolutely killed bernie with suburban voters, whereas in 2026 stratton and raja were basically tied. obviously they are different candidates, but the progressive path through the suburbs is there

@SuperiorElliot5 i mean, this is a fair critique, i have no idea why dupage is considered urban or why they didnt just make a separate category for the collar counties. still tho, stratton doing FAR better than sanders did does suggest a need for progs to get the warren wing behind them in 28

in the event that AOC does win the primary in 2028, one of the reasons will be because she got these Warrenite suburbanites on her side in a way Sanders never could

Alright so far on the “Reasons why centrists think Kat Abu did so well” list we have: -Terminally online lefties liked her (I promise you less than a quarter of the district is terminally online) -People only voted for her because she’s hot (We love misogyny folks!)

The CBC focus on loyalty/tenure over crude ideas like “winning,” not sure I get it
Michael Jones@bymichaeljones

I’m told Juliana Stratton’s historic ascension will be celebrated by the CBC, but it remains to be seen going forward how the caucus engages Gov. JB Pritzker, who provided financial and institutional backing for his Lt. Gov. at the expense of sitting CBC members Robin Kelly and Lauren Underwood. Sources inside the CBC’s political operation stressed that Chair Yvette Clarke’s recent critique was always about a sitting governor’s outsized role in the primary, not the Stratton’s candidacy. More TK.

Good lord. It’s important to understand how massive this is. This guy was like one or two steps removed from Martin Luther King. He has streets and places named after him and a public holiday in many states.

MUST READ: A bombshell NYT investigation shows that Cesar Chavez sexually abused young girls. Dolores Huerta also discloses for first time that that Chavez raped her. So much more from Manny Fernandez and Sarah Hurtes —> nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/…

@friendlybish14 @nikicaga people consistently underestimate just how much the suburbs have shifted to the left since 2016. most Romney-Clinton voters are just straight-up liberals now, and a lot of them have shifted towards progressivism since 2024

Re: #MISen. If I could snap my fingers and make one of the candidates senator, I would choose Abdul El-Sayed. But Michigan is a swing state, and Mike Rogers is a strong opponent. Mallory McMorrow is both progressive and electable. She has my support.

@MiddleOfWinning im so glad that some random glup shitto socialist didn't run for Senate and that progressives on both sides lined up behind Flanagan. it should hopefully ice out Craig completely and ensure that the Wellstone seat is secure for progressives

@RuNoseP Yeah, people should generally focus on the candidates who actually suck ass rather than candidates who are a bit worse than your preferred candidate. I just wish the Warren and Bernie wings didn't fight so much because they both add a lot to the party despite their faults lol

i def lean more towards the Bernie wing than the Warren wing, but they aren't really different enough to make me that passionate about their proxy primaries ex: i would vote for El Sayed if i lived in Michigan, but i don't think i'll really care that much if McMorrow wins tbh

I love this for Illinois. And I love this for the rest of us. Juliana Stratton is already on record saying she will NOT support Chuck Schumer as leader if she is elected to the Senate. New energy. New pressure. New reality.

@MiddleOfWinning i think i've just chosen to direct my ire towards Dems that i'm not sure i could vote for in the general. i have my own issues with the Warren wing but i wouldn't hesitate to back them over the GOP, whereas i honestly don't know if i could bring myself to vote for Haley Stevens

@desstrogen im very very glad that progressives here in MN didn't decide to run some hopeless third place socialist against Peggy Flanagan, because while it would definitely be Peggy's job to win them, its also unlikely she wouldn't suffer a least a bit from vote splitting

@desstrogen i think it is to an extent (people on both the right and left let the candidates get away with too much failing), but in a non-RCV vote, it also wouldn't hurt for progressives to also be pragmatic about who to coalesce around (a la Flanagan, Talarico, Stratton, etc)

i don’t think any one candidate is entitled to a group of voters and calls for other candidates to drop out assuming all of their votes would go to another candidate strikes me as bad politics
