Scoop: How the left plans to start winning Democratic primaries again

Progressives are overhauling their primary strategy to consolidate behind single candidates after winning just one of four targeted House races in Illinois, compared to recent wins in New Jersey. Rep. Delia Ramirez and Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar told Axios the left plans to coordinate endorsements and resources across progressive groups to prevent vote-splitting that favors moderates and well-funded AIPAC-backed candidates. The shift comes after Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss won his Chicago-area race while progressive candidates in three other Illinois contests finished third behind establishment-aligned opponents backed by AIPAC, crypto, and AI-aligned PACs. Major primary tests for this new unified approach will occur in Pennsylvania in May and California, New Jersey, and New York in June.
