If Biden survives the Democratic Hunger Games, he will have the Progressive wing of the party to thank.

The Squad, and other Progressive Democrats, famously backed Biden in 2020, and they’re still all in. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the leader of the House Progressive Caucus, announced there had been an “evolution” in Biden’s thinking that made him promise to sign on to much of the Bernie Sanders agenda. And Biden has kept his word, from championing a Green New Deal and a massive regulatory expansion to adopting transgender ideology and a trillion-dollar infusion into the welfare industry.

The biggest source of Biden’s support among Democrats is now a coalition of “woke” college-educated professionals, nonprofits who benefit from the welfare state, and liberal tech oligarchs with radical social policy views.  All of them believe their capture of Biden is stronger than ever and he would continue to do their bidding in a second term.

Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a member of the Progressive Democrat House “Squad”, says that Biden has “been the best president of my lifetime and we have his back.” Bernie Sanders is also a committed supporter.

We still think Biden will be ousted – but this intra-party Civil War could tear the party apart.
