Hill progressives endorse in a California race tearing at Democrats

The Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC endorsed Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar in California's 48th District race, but the endorsement has intensified internal Democratic tensions. Former Senator Barbara Boxer and others argue that Campa-Najjar is blocking a more electable candidate in Marni von Wilpert, risking a November lockout where two Republicans could advance. The race has become a battleground over the party's stance on Israel-Gaza issues and candidate electability.
