New 'Squad' just dropped.
The demise of progressives may have been greatly exaggerated. During primary season, it became something akin to gospel that progressives were in retreat, as Democratic moderates rode a wave of super PAC money to a number of primary wins. But, even early in the night on Nov. 8, progressives had already secured themselves a full class of newcomers—winning high-profile House races with Florida’s Maxwell Frost, Illinois’s Delia Ramirez, Texas’s Greg Casar, and Pennsylvania’s Summer Lee.
Frost, Ramirez, Casar, and Lee all fit the demographic profile of Squads of yore. All four are nonwhite, all four are under 40 years old. All four are champions of Medicare for All and the Green New Deal, which adds four formidable advocates to those top-billed progressive priorities.Frost, now the youngest member of congress at just 25-years-old, is perhaps the best known member of the group.
Perhaps the least prominent of the bunch, going into the election, was Delia Ramirez, who spent the last four years in the Illinois state house. The race drew little national attention and little outside spending, as Ramirez cruised through her primary race. Now, she’ll represent the newly-drawn Chicago-area 3rd district, a plurality Latino district. In the process, she becomes the first Midwestern Latina elected to Congress.
