Progressive Left Takes Aim at Dem Leadership Amid Split Decision on Trump's Future
The progressive left-wing has won a second straight week's Senate primary battle, marking a setback for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and intensifying a battle between Democrats on the center-left. The split decision also gives former President Donald Trump an unexpected boost in his re-election campaign.
Dems' left-center battle intensifies as Senator Schumer faces criticism from progressive voters, who have won high-stakes Senate primary battles over establishment candidates in a setback for the Democratic leadership. The recent split decision for Donald Trump in Wisconsin's gubernatorial recall election adds to the tension. This marks the second week in a row that progressive voters have defeated establishment-backed candidates. The outcome indicates growing dissatisfaction among Democrats with Schumer's leadership style.
