House Democrats' campaign arm draws progressive fury for trying to 'tip the scales' in key House primary

House Democrats' campaign arm has sparked backlash from progressive lawmakers for backing a centrist candidate over a far-left challenger in a key House primary, with critics arguing that the decision could unfairly influence the outcome of the election. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) added California state Assemblymember Jasmeet Bains to its 'Red to Blue' program, prompting criticism from progressives who support Randy Villegas, a university professor backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders. The move has led to accusations that the DCCC is attempting to 'tip the scales' in the race.
