    The secret-ballot vote to pick Connolly over AOC was 131 to 84 in a closed door Democratic caucus meeting, so it’s not just Schumer who’s the problem. Even if people are ready to primary these 10. There are still systematic issues with the party that will slow down any progress. It is going to be a hard fight going forward vs Super PACs and Billionaires pouring resources into opps.
