Establishment Democrats’ Actions May Hurt 2026 Midterm Chances
Political maneuvering and strategic choices are impacting Democratic chances in key districts. While some Democrats are opposing weapons shipments to Israel, others, like Stevens, are supported by AIPAC, a position likely to be unpopular with Arab American voters in Michigan. Furthermore, in California, despite the viability of a progressive candidate, Randy Villegas, the DCCC is backing Jasmeet Bains, a more conservative figure, potentially sacrificing a promising campaign for perceived strategic advantage. This indicates the Democratic party is at times prioritizing backing candidates based on factors like political alignment instead of local alignment.
