A primary season of Democratic Party upsets came to a close in recent days, with the progressive wing of the liberal movement making major inroads as the nation sets its sights on the 2018 midterm elections.
“Backed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a slew of liberal candidates have pulled off upsets in Democratic primaries across the country this year by embracing a Democratic socialist platform, with agenda items such as implementing Medicare-for-all, free college tuition, abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and impeaching President Trump,” writes Fox News.
The major winners include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Maryland gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous, and Florida governor-hopeful Andrew Gillum.
Not all hyper-liberal candidates went on to victory, however, with Cynthia Nixon being easily beaten by Democratic establishment Governor Andrew Cuomo.
“That is a wave. On the numbers. Not on some Twittersphere dialogue where I tweet you and you tweet me and between the two of us, we think we have a wave. We’re not even a ripple,” said Cuomo.
