Original: Dem leaders urge party to vote 'none of the above' in senate race to stop Abdul El-Sayed https:// lemmy.ml/post/54345435
Democratic Party leaders are urging voters to choose 'none of the above' in a Senate primary rather than back Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive candidate. The unusual move signals establishment resistance to his candidacy, with leaders apparently preferring any alternative to his nomination. The report is circulating widely, drawing attention to the party's internal divisions over its Senate field.
Why now: People are discussing unusual establishment tactics to block a prominent progressive candidate in a Senate race.
