О предсказамусах

kilativ — 26.06.2020 Помнится Дима предсказывал, что таких людей как Александпа Оскарио-Кортес вынесут на ближайших выборах, поскольку они слишком радикальны. Однако это в альтернативной вселенной. В реальной вселенной девушка Александра вынесла почти в ноль своего оппонента с поддержкой банкиров. Более того, демократы-центристы проиграли еще несколько округов в пользу радикалов. Это все что нужно знать о политикуме.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez handily defeated CNBC contributor and Wall Street-backed challenger Michelle Caruso-Cabrera in the Democratic primary for New York’s 14th Congressional District on Tuesday, a victory that the progressive congresswoman celebrated as evidence that “money couldn’t buy a movement.”

With national attention and endorsements, insurgent Jamaal Bowman had a good night of early returns in the Democratic primary for the 16th Congressional District, a district on the Bronx and Westchester border.
As of 4:20 a.m. Wednesday, he led 31-year House Member Eliot Engel by a little more than 9,000 ballots (60.9 percent to 35.6 percent).

Like Engel, Carolyn Maloney, a Democrat who represents parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens in the 12th Congressional District, is in a fierce fight in her primary.
As of 4:20 a.m., she led Suraj Patel, an activist and New York University professor, by less than 600 votes (41.5 percent to 40 percent).
Given the extremely close margin, the winner will not be declared before the absentee ballots are counted.
The dead-heat between Maloney and Patel is a political shock for incumbents. Maloney has represented the district for 14 terms and rarely faces primaries. She’s also the chair of the powerful House Oversight Committee, and, like her fellow incumbents, had the fundraising edge in the race.
(14 terms - это 28 лет, многие критики вечного Путина не были рождены, когда тетка Малони попала в Конгресс)

Although it would not be on the same scale as defeats to Engel and Maloney, another potential shock to a longtime elected official could come in the 15th Congressional District in the Bronx. Arguably expected to be the tightest race in the primaries, the district is essentially an open seat as Rep. José Serrano is retiring at the end of the year.
It was open season, then, as 12 Democrats ran, including several progressives such as Bronx Councilman Ritchie Torres, Bronx Assemblyman Michael Blake, former City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, Manhattan Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, and activist Samelys López. Bronx Councilman Rubén Díaz, Sr., a socially conservative Democrat with wide name recognition in the borough, was seen as a major player as well if the progressives split the vote.
As of 4:20 a.m., however, Torres led the pack with 30.5 percent of the in-person ballots cast. His next closest competitor, Blake, clocked in at 19.4 percent. Díaz was in third with 14.7 percent, while López had 13.2.
