POLITICO: “Democrats’ Oregon dilemma”

The chaotic Democrat-on-Democrat primary battle in Oregon’s fifth district escalated again today. POLITICO calls it “Democrats’ Oregon dillema.”

SHOT: The Daily Beast featured extreme progressive Jamie McLeod-Skinner in a story out today titled “Progressives Are Trying to Make 2024 the Year of the Rematch.”

CHASER: POLITICO reported that “progressive Jamie McLeod-Skinner’s second bid […] is stirring quiet consternation among party leaders who fear a primary battle there could cost the party a shot at flipping the blue-tinged seat now held by Republican Chavez-DeRemer.”

Axios recently highlighted McLeod-Skinner among the “problematic candidates” in “messy primaries” causing “primary headaches” for Democrats.

“Democrats’ race to the extreme left primary in the fifth district has fast become the defining story of this race. Jamie McLeod-Skinner’s support for a laundry list of extreme progressive causes has made her just too liberal for Oregon.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
