Blue vs blue fight over progressive politics in Seattle district
Original: Battle over progressive politics pits blue vs blue in this Seattle legislative district
A legislative district in Seattle is the scene of an intraparty clash among Democrats over the direction of progressive politics. Rather than a contest against Republicans, the battle pits more moderate Democrats against the party's left wing, reflecting broader tensions within the party about how far to push progressive policies. KUOW reports the contest has become a proxy for the national fight over the future of the Democratic coalition.
Why now: Local Democratic primaries are drawing attention as a proxy for the national debate over the party's progressive direction.
