Gluesenkamp Perez is almost always on the wrong side of decisions like these. Unfortunately, her district is very mixed and not remotely a Democratic stronghold. A more progressive Democrat would be unlikely to win in her district.

    There's a pretty strong push from her primary opponent this year - he's winning over local Republicans in conversation by focusing on medicare/Medicaid expansion.

    Edit: have to be clear he isn't winning any Maga votes, but iffy republicans that were MGPs "base" since they were already dissuade from voting red from how batshit Joe Kent was.
