What’s Really Driving the Left’s Wins In Democratic Primaries?
The article analyzes the recent surge of progressive candidates defeating incumbent Democrats and establishment figures in primary elections, notably in Colorado and New York. It identifies key drivers: increasingly liberal attitudes among Democratic voters, effective get-out-the-vote operations by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in cities like New York, and frustration within the party base over Democratic leadership losing twice to Donald Trump. Political science professors Julia Azari and Seth Masket break down the relative importance of these factors in the leftward shift within the party.
