Democrats Blame Progressives
This comes after a source told Fox News that during a conference call on Thursday, Democrats complained that the rallying cries of progressives cost some moderates their seats.
“There’s absolutely no accountability from the speaker,” one frustrated Democrat reportedly said on the call. “We should have won big but you know the defund the police issue, the Green New Deal — those issues killed our members.

The office of House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) has confirmed that he said that if “we are going to run on Medicare for All, defund the police, socialized medicine, we’re not going to win.” Ocasio-Cortez, however, was not having any of it.
“So the whole “progressivism is bad” argument just doesn’t have any compelling evidence that I’ve seen. When it comes to ‘Defund’ & ‘Socialism’ attacks, people need to realize these are racial resentment attacks,” she added. “You’re not gonna make that go away. You can make it less effective.”

Not only did the GOP resist those efforts (the progressive party has yet to flip a single chamber), but they managed to gain a majority in both chambers of the New Hampshire Legislature.

The defense of state legislatures is a major victory for the Republican Party, with effects that can reverberate for a decade or more.

A Bad Sign For Pelosi
The contentious conference call is more evidence that Nancy Pelosi’s tenure as the House Speaker may be in jeopardy.
Republicans have taunted Pelosi over the significant election losses and suggested she might end up facing a challenge from a radical progressive for the role of Speaker.
This fractured caucus isn’t going to help dispel that rumor anytime soon.
Republicans defied the odds and grew our party last night. In districts all across the country, Americans rejected socialism and voted for freedom. Nancy Pelosi: you’ve been put on notice. — Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) November 4, 2020
Democrats accusing progressives of costing them their seats, the ‘Squad’ calling them racist – all signs of a power struggle.
It’s worth noting that while more moderate Democrats struggled in the election, the “Squad” performed pretty well.
Every current squad member won their re-election bids on Tuesday. They even expanded their ranks.
Far-left Democrat Cori Bush, the newest member of the “Squad” led by AOC, won her race to become the first black congresswoman in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District Tuesday night.
The Daily Mail also notes other victors who might be considered additions to the “Squad” – New York’s Jamaal Bowman and Mondaire Jones.
The fuller Spanberger: “If we are classifying Tuesday as a success from a congressional standpoint, we will get f–ing torn apart in 2022.
