Can a Sanders-style progressive flip a deep-red California seat?
Original: Can a Sanders-style progressive flip one of California's reddest seats?
Attention is turning to whether a Bernie Sanders-style progressive can win one of California's most Republican-leaning congressional districts. The race tests whether left-wing economic populism can resonate with conservative-leaning voters in a state dominated by Democrats elsewhere. Observers see the contest as a measure of how far progressive messaging can stretch beyond its traditional base, and whether working-class appeals on issues like healthcare and wages can cut through partisan loyalties in red territory.
Why now: A high-stakes race is testing whether progressive politics can win in traditionally Republican-leaning parts of California.
