House Democrats Take Sides in Contentious Primaries

“The House Democratic campaign arm on Monday inflamed ongoing tensions over the influence of party leadership by taking sides in several competitive primaries for battleground House seats,” CNN reports.

“The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee waded in by announcing its latest round of ‘Red to Blue’ candidates, a designation that is tantamount to an endorsement.”

“While Democrats are in a strong position to capture the House majority in November, the batch of endorsements shows that the DCCC is not willing to take chances on who the party nominates in some of the most competitive districts.”
