General Discussion

On behalf of Jeffries and Schumer, and those against them. I don’t think it’s as as easy as simply labeling this fight as liberal wing vs centrist either. Take Minnesota for example. Angie Craig has won several endorsements from various progressive LGBTQ orgs and unions as well as Pete Buttigieg, Tammy Baldwin and several other senators, though she has also received AIPAC’s endorsement. She’s considered the more moderate candidate, but probably also the more ‘establishment’ candidate in this case.

Craig’s opponent Flanagan has advocated to abolish ICE and has received the endorsement of several such as Bernie sanders and Elizabeth Warren, as well as Chris Murphy and outgoing Minnesota senator Tina smith. Craig also voted for that stupid ‘we appreciate ice’ resolution. I think that race is a good gauge of where the party is at especially after ICE’s actions in that state. Democrats are heavily favored to win the election there but it’s clear schumer’s grip on power depends on that primary among a few others.
