At least four House Democrats affiliated with the left-wing "Squad" faction are facing serious primary threats next year, fueled by their vocal criticism of Israel's war against Hamas in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
Why it matters: These primaries, pitting the most progressive lawmakers against more traditional liberals, will offer a clear test of the ideological direction of the Democratic Party...
The four Democratic lawmakers facing competition from the party's center are Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), Summer Lee (D-Pa.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.)...
Bush's St. Louis-area district is home to the largest Jewish community in Missouri.
Bowman's district, centered in Westchester County, New York, has one of the largest Jewish constituencies in the country — alongside a nonwhite majority electorate.
In 2022, Rep. Omar was the only Squad-affiliated lawmaker to face a serious primary scare. She narrowly won her primary against former Minneapolis city councilman Don Samuels, who is planning to run again.
But this time, Samuels isn't the only prospective challenger against Omar. Attorney Sara Gad, a pro-Israel progressive, is already running and attacking Omar over her Israel record.

Yadda yadda yadda, every election they say they are in trouble, and every time they win easily.
Too bad their districts are pinko thru & thru. These people have a blindness.
They will have little issue being re-elected, and they’ll use that fact to force their agendas even further.
Yup, new red wave right? 🤔
🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
Who cares? I’m sure the left wing bullshit will keep squirting out of these districts no matter who wins.
Bullshit. There are no Threat.
They represent the Democrats core philosophies.
They will be reelected handily.
How did these infiltrators ever get elected in thier districts if they may have a problem getting ere elected? This means people other than muslims voted for these pukes, shame on you
Summer Lee is my rep, Pittsburgh, PA - 12.
Bigoted, racist, Squad member, democrat (but that’s redundant).
I wish she’d be defeated, but Pittsburgh is infested with demorats. (For the life of me, I don’t know why, steel is gone, mines are almost gone, but unions are still here polluting everything.)
Whoever gets the demorat nomination, wins the election. It’s automatic.
My dad, RIP, was a teamster. He used to say “Republicans is for the rich people, Democrats is for the workin’ man.”
Sorry, Dad, but you were wrong, so wrong.
We’ve allowed too many cuckoos into the nest and “allow” for dual citizenship, which is divided loyalty.
Well stated
Nope...Jews and blacks will fall in line.
It doesn’t matter if the Jews abandon the DNC wholesale or not. It’s a schism. It must be widened.
Ilhan let her brother stick his wee wee in her hoo hoo and fill it up with uh oh juice. How is it that she got elected in the first place.
