Another Long Time Incumbent Loses Primary, This Time in Massachusetts (Congress, democratic)

[TigerLily24]

Ayanna Pressley defeated Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA) by double digits yesterday.
Capuano has been in Congress for twenty years.


"Ayanna Pressley, the 44-year-old Boston City Councilor, triumphed over 20-year incumbent Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA) by a double-digit margin. It was the primary season’s second stunning ousting of a long-term lawmaker by a female progressive challenger and another indicator that the liberal base is hungering for something new in their representation."

So far it seems that Capuano is taking this better than Crowley.

It was a big surprise to me!

I'm beginning to think 2020 may see a Democratic Presidential nominee who's going to be as big a surprise.
