A far-left group, called the Justice Democrats, have divided the House Democratic Caucus by seeking to pick off another establishment Democrat Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) in the midterms, a threatening move to Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) and Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX).
Justice Democrats challenging establishment incumbent Democrats in safe districts to seat members of the “power-hungry, socialist mob” is not a caucus uniting decision. But the far-left group is known for handily picking off establishment members, including two New Yorkers in the last two elections.
Currently, the Justice Democrats are coming full force towards New Yorker Maloney by firmly backing Rana Abdelhamid, a 27-year-old who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
