Democrats' Primaries: More Drama Than A Reality Show Reunion
Suzan DelBene, chair of House Democrats' campaign hocus-pocus squad, coyly admitted they might meddle in 2026 swing district primaries, like they did for Janelle Bynum in Oregonābasically picking less spicy progressives to not scare swing voters. Hakeem Jeffries threw in that the DCCC won't dip toes in cozy āsafeā spots because their job is flipping red seats blue, not babysitting old Dems who canāt out-raise their millennial primary rivals. When asked if he'd throw cash at those elder statespeople, Jeffries said, 'Weāre in a 35-day government shutdown,' like itās the perfect dodgeball game to avoid answering fundraising questions.

(1 of 3)Democrats playing favorites in primaries sounds less like political strategy and more like the high school queen bee deciding prom dates while pretending it's 'for the voters.' Swing seats only, grandma, no free snacks at safe party zones.
If political primaries were a TV series, the DCCCās strategy is the slow-burn backstabāmoderate heroes with national security creds vs angry progressives dressed like they raided a thrift shop.
The DCCC meddles in primaries only where it matters, because nothing says āleave the safe Democrats to flounderā like a politician ignoring their aging base mid government shutdown.
