Total Loser: Most Of The Candidates Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Endorsed In Yesterday's Primaries Lost
She?s not even in Congress yet, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Party?s rising star and unapologetic socialist, endorsed a slate of candidates in last night?s primaries. While all eyes were on Ohio?s 12th congressional district, Missouri, Michigan, Kansas, and Washington also had primaries. Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Cori Bush running in Missouri?s first congressional district and Abdul El-Sayed and Fayrouz Saad in Michigan. El-Sayed and Saad were running for governor and Congress respectively; Saad was running in the Mitten State?s 11th congressional district.
Well, it seems the seeds of a left wing revolution won?t be taking root. All of the candidates she backed for August 7th lost?all of them. It wasn?t just by a little. All of them lost quite handily?some of them by a lot (via American Mirror):
El-Sayed lost his bid for the Democrat nomination for governor to 50.1 percent to 34.6 percent, according to numbers published by the New York Times. [It?s now 30.6 percent for El-Sayed]
Saad came in fourth in the five-way race, capturing only 20.1 percent of the vote. [NYT now says 18 percent]
Cori Bush lost her primary to William Lacy Clay, 62.3 percent to 30.2 percent, the Times results show. [Bush ticked up to 36.9 percent, but Clay ended up with 56.7 percent].
