“Two Democrats face off today in a crucial primary for a Republican-held Oregon swing seat the party is eager to flip as Democrats work to win back the House,” the Washington Post reports.
“Jamie McLeod-Skinner defeated moderate Democratic Rep. Kurt Schrader in the 2022 primary by running to his left in a district President Biden carried by nine points.
But then she narrowly lost to Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer in the general election.”“Now McLeod-Skinner is running again — and much of the Democratic establishment is trying to stop her. Democrats need to flip only four Republican-held seats in November to regain control of the House, making every swing district critical to the majority.”
