Ya gotta love it. The party that constantly harps on “defending Democracy” is being accused of “narrowing Democracy” in their own primaries. By candidates of their own.
A group of 17 outsider Democratic congressional candidates launched a veritable public revolt against their own party’s campaign arm this week, issuing a joint statement accusing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) of undermining the 2026 primary process.
You mean the party that unceremoniously dumped Joe Biden once the jig was up on his mental state and installed Kamala Harris without so much as a single primary vote isn’t a big fan of letting voters decide? The party that rigged Bernie Sanders’ primary against Hillary Clinton in 2016 doesn’t have faith in voters to choose a winning candidate?
Are y’all just as stunned as I am?
The DCCC earlier this week endorsed a dozen fundraising frontrunners in contested House races—such as VA-01, WI-03, and NC-11—through its “Red to Blue” program.
