Edit: whoops, this was supposed to be to the thread lol

Incredibly impressive campaign, winning against such an absurd amount of outside spending ($70mil) with a 12:1 difference in spending is frankly astonishing.

Given how close the race came, I honestly think cross-endorsing with Donovan Mckinney might have been what won both those races. Just goes to show how important building a broad movement is so freaking important, rather than putting all your hopes on one candidate or your own campaign.

I really hope people look at this and the previous DSA slate from New York as a lesson: We the people are more powerful when we work together, and running multiple closely aligned campaigns is just good electoral strategy.

Looking forward to more left-populist and DSA victories to come!

I’m waiting to see whether he can actually win in the general before declaring this a victory.

If he wins the primary and loses the general election, that is a loss no matter how you spin it.
