Central Valley Democrats in Full-Blown Primary Brawl

February 12, 2026

The handpicked progressive hero Jasmeet Bains is on track to go from “top recruit” to total flop

Bains is getting outraised, sitting on less cash than Bernie-backed socialist Randy Villegas, and now she can’t even articulate what she stands for. Democrats promised a powerhouse, instead they’ve got a candidate being lapped in her own primary and hiding from her own agenda.

“While Central Valley families worry about water, jobs, and putting food on the table, Bains and Villegas are locked in a petty Central Valley brawl over activist scraps and primary turf. If this is how they handle their own party, imagine the chaos they’d bring to Congress.”  – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
