Democratic Party Primaries

Sen. Bernie Sanders has endorsed Nida Allam in a progressive primary challenge to Rep. Foushee. Allam has been picked up by Justice Democrats, Leaders We Deserve, Sunrise Movement, Indian American Impact and the Working Families Party, and her launch video attacks "lobbyists and billionaires" while vowing to fight "Trump's authoritarianism and corporate greed"; activist David Hogg also publicly backed her and said his group Leaders We Deserve will invest millions to target older Democratic incumbents, after resigning earlier this year as DNC vice chair amid conflicts over that role. Foushee did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
