The progressive wing of the Democratic Party is "building power" and likely will be "dominating presidential elections over the next 15 years" left-wing Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., told the New York Times, even as moderates and liberals feud over the party's direction.
Former Illinois lawmaker and former leader of the House Democrats’ campaign arm Cheri Bustos told the outlet that there always seems to be a "reckoning" when a party swings too far right or too far left.
"In 2018, our party seemed to react to Donald Trump winning in 2016, and the reaction was to go further and further left," Bustos, a moderate, said. "When politics swings far to the left or far to the right, there always seems to be a reckoning."
Progressive Democrats cited their recent victory in Chicago, where Brandon Johnson, a progressive who was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT., defeated his moderate opponent, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, in the city's mayoral race.
