16 Apr 2021 Democrats in safe seats asked donors for the Democrat’s campaign arm to help in fending off challengers from the far left during a party-sponsored Zoom call Wednesday, according to a report by the Huffington Post. Two House Democrats considered to be in “safe seats” pleaded for help from the donors on a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC)-sponsored call. The two Democrats were reportedly Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) and Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), who are both members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC). According to the Post, the call came after a far left-wing group called Justice Democrats announced they are backing Rana Abdelhamid’s primary bid against Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), who is another member of the CPC.
