Progressives plan wave of Democratic primary challenges ahead of 2026 midterm elections

The article from MSN discusses how progressive groups are gearing up to challenge moderate Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections. These groups, including Justice Democrats and the Working Families Party, are planning to support primary challenges against what they perceive as insufficiently progressive incumbents. The strategy is driven by dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party's centrist tendencies, particularly highlighted by the failure to pass more ambitious legislation during President Biden's term. Key issues fueling this movement include climate change, economic inequality, and social justice. The progressives aim to shift the party further left, believing that more progressive candidates could energize the base and lead to better electoral outcomes. This wave of primary challenges is seen as a response to the perceived lack of progress on critical issues and a push to redefine the Democratic Party's direction.
