Democrats’ Midterm Civil War Is Costing the Party a Fortune
3rd March 2026
Axios, a Voice of the Crust.
An expensive Democratic civil war is brewing this election cycle, with a staggering 30 House Democrats facing at least one primary challenger who has raised $100,000 or more, an Axios analysis found.
Why it matters: These primaries are drawing tens of millions of dollars from Democrats’ efforts to retake the House while priming House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to inherit a rebellious class of new freshmen.
Well, if crazy people are your base, you have to cope.
