Five progressive House hopefuls won notable Tuesday night victories despite the overall trend of the election on track to favor a Republican majority
They include the first black congresswoman-elect from Pennsylvania, the first Gen Z House winner, and the first Latina elected to Congress from the Midwest
Members of the current 'Squad' endorsed every one except for Balint
The majority were also endorsed by a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, the Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders
Victory by these progressives and the loss of some moderate Democratic House seats is likely to push the overall party more to the left in the next Congress
A whole new 'Squad' of progressives is headed to Capitol Hill next year - and could join forces with the Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-anchored group that's made headlines for pushing the Democratic Party further left and caused a few headaches for party leaders along the way.
While the House of Representatives is on pace to go Republican as of Thursday morning, Democrats outperformed expectations to keep hold of some key swing seats.
Meanwhile there were also Congressional hopefuls running in safe blue areas that still made history.
Maxwell Frost, 25, of Florida is the first member of Gen Z elected to Congress and among the youngest Congressman-elects in history.
In Vermont, Becca Balint won a decisive victory to become the state's first female and LGBTQ person elected to Congress.
The first black woman elected to Congress from Pennsylvania, Summer Lee triumphed despite millions of dollars being spent in favor of her more moderate Democratic primary rival.
It remains to be seen whether all five will coalesce outside of the Congressional Progressive Caucus or join the existing 'Squad.'

The fact that “the squad” all got reelected is a condemnation of their congressional districts... big time. And it is inevitable that they would attract more racist, America-hating slugs.
Just what we need…..
And they won’ have to kneel down to Pelosi.
This should be interesting
I think we are headed for The Quadroon Platoon.
Could be a good thing, once the GOP takes the House. The infighting in the rat party will only help us.
“IF” Gop takes the house. I am not holding my breath.
Don’t matter anymore this country is screwed! AND We haven’t seen nothing yet …wait until the illegals are given the right to vote and to run for offices. We are rapidly becoming a Third World country mirroring the quick demise of 🇬🇧UK! They too are in a tremendous rapid decent from greatness! THE evil demons rats have been emboldened to continue destroying this ONCE great nation. BTW keep your eyes on China taking over Taiwan. They too have been emboldened and will push to overtake them…since they control the mediavomits, Congress, senators they’ve got their long tentacles in the US, once they destroy Trump they will be absolutely nothing to stop them.
Bigger than what ..5 people?
Ever see five liberals in a meeting somebody going to get cut.
p
Their asses are getting bigger.
We can’t we have a conservative alternative to the Squid.
So if they all hate America so much why not get out instead of forcing good people like us to fit into their Chinese Communist style life?
These ditch witches aren’t smart enough to contemplate what comes after their Christmas wishes.
Like Bill Ayers, he couldn’t complete the circle.
It’s just the obamoan mantra, death to America irrespective of the loss of all advancements that western Christian man has given the world.
Yes, they want to turn us into a Third World country. After Tuesday, apparently many Americans are okay with that. They’ll regret it when it is realized but then It will be too late. The political class won’t care as they will have secured their positions.
Truth stranger than Fiction
Do they actually have influence? What bills have they written and gotten passed?
squad + retard (fetterman)
