Omar’s victory essentially guarantees that the quartet of first-term progressive Democratic congresswomen of color will be returning to Capitol Hill in January. Fellow "Squad" member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced a well-financed Democratic primary challenger in the New York State's June primary. Another progressive, New York City Councilman Ritchie Torres, won the Democratic primary for a Bronx-based seat to replace retiring Democratic Rep. Jose Serrano. In March, progressive candidate Marie Newman took down longtime moderate Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski in Illinois' 3rd Congressional District. Longtime Democratic Reps. Yvette Clarke and Carolyn Maloney of New York fended off ferocious progressive primary challengers.
