Summer Lee vs. Bhavini Patel

[wnwnwn]

Patel would be easily the favorite with enought investment and the right campaing, but this isnt the case. Lee is favored, altrought she will probably be primaried again in 2024 (likely by a white candidate).

Looking at the Early Vote, Lee is doing well in the suburbs which voted massively for Irwin last time. Really, the only place I see Patel improving in is the Squirrel Hill neighborhood in Pittsburgh.

Where are you seeing that?

Lee will liekly win, but the amount and how may show some things.

If it doesn’t work in Pittsburgh, their most demographically favorable district, it’s not going to work so AIPAC need to stop targeting women of color with contentious primaries when they are on the losing end of this issue. Summer Lee has condemned Hamas. She has condemned anti-semitism on college campuses. People in her district were smart enough to see the plain truth that criticizing Israel is not anti-semitism, and neither is asking for high moral standards from “the only democracy in the Middle East.” If they go out of their way to make this the central issue in Bush and Bowman’s races, let alone Tlaib’s and Omar’s, AIPAC will guarantee an intact Squad in November.

I mean it was an incumbent Squad WOC vs a non-incumbent WOC primary.

I’m committed to advancing progressive issues like advocating for gun violence prevention, fighting for reproductive justice, and creating good-paying union jobs.

Do you think a white union man would had been a better candidate? I suppose a candidate like that could had it easier to get support from anti Squad donors, but it´s not like Patel wasn´t clearly the choice for democrat moderates in this primary.
