Two House Democrats, including the Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair, lost primaries to left-wing challengers, potentially doubling Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) representation in Congress. The results are described as an 'earthquake' and 'huge defeat' for Democratic leadership, with progressive candidates like Brad Lander and Claire Valdez securing significant victories.
