The far-left progressive candidates backed by Squad members suffered a complete collapse in the Illinois Democratic congressional primaries — losing in House District 9, House District 8 and House District 2 as moderate Democrats swept every single race.
To longtime Democratic strategist James Carville the result confirmed something he has been saying for years — that entrusting the Democratic Party’s future to its far-left wing is a losing strategy that voters keep rejecting every single time they get a chance. The Squad spent years telling America they represented the future of the Democratic Party. Illinois Democrats just told them exactly what they think of that idea — and they said it loud enough for the whole country to hear.
