John, these were resounding victories.
Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib won big against corporate Democrats last night. Cori received a whopping 70% of the vote and Rashida received 64%. Both up against big corporate money and a slew of attack ads. This is what strong progressive leaders can do.
Just look at these definitive headlines from the St. Louis Dispatch and Associated Press:
When we elect Justice Democrats, they fight for the people, not corporations, in Congress. The Squad is a powerful force that has changed politics since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won her very first primary in 2018.
AOC was our first JD recruit to win against the Democratic establishment. And since then, we’ve built on her win to grow the Squad and make the Democratic Party more accountable to the people.
Now, we have a solid bloc of Justice Democrats in Congress willing to fight for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and student debt cancellation. And we have a bloc willing to buck Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic establishment when corporate Democrats are governing for corporate profits, not the people.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
