Despite Joe Biden’s presidential victory, the 2020 elections exacerbated the sharp divide within his party; after losing 15 seats in the House of Representatives and 225 seats in state legislatures, the progressive new guard and the moderate old guard now openly point fingers at one another. Progressive Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of NY-14 dismissed defeated Democratic incumbents as “sitting ducks,” blaming their lack of outreach and digital campaigning. In response, moderate Conor Lamb of PA-17 accused the association of all Democrats with “unpopular” progressivism, such as “defunding the police,” that caused Democratic losses in swing districts.
