Chris Rabb Defeats Pro Israel Dems!

Hey Cory Booker! Go worry about New Jersey.

Pennsylvania state representative Chris Rabb trounced his two Pro Israel opponents in a district Democrats demanded change to the status quo.

Welcome to the Squad.

A self described democratic socialist, Rabb said the Democratic Party is tone deaf and its time for some progressive change.

He is boldly telling the public that he doesn't give a fuck, stop funding apartheid. Israel isn't our ally, it's our burden and we must put an end to it by any means necessary.

Hasan Piker, the progressive agitator appeared with Rabb and it helped him win. Rabb went against Sharif Street, an American Muslim who supports Israel and Ala Stanford, a Philadelphia activist who was wishy washy on policies.

Running as a progressive and taking left-wing stances on issues such as health care (such as supporting "Medicare for All"), Rabb notched the endorsement of left-leaning organizations as well as nationally known figures such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who campaigned with him last week.

As results came in Tuesday night, supporters rushed to the stage as Rabb took the podium, joined by his sons and parents.

Rabb told the crowd that many doubted his chances in the race - and said he even considered dropping out just a few months ago.

But he said ultimately his sons were his inspiration for running.

That Hasan Piker is a problem. I guess that problem is a winning solution.

He framed the victory as a collective effort.

"This is what our district looks like, and we deserve the very best. They're going to try to tear us apart. We're not going to let that happen because we see our power when we believe in collective action. We are indomitable," said Rabb to supporters.

Rabb is likely to succeed U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans, age 71, who has served in the House of Representatives since 2017 and announced last June that he is retiring from Congress at the end of his term.

While this race is not one of the "battlegrounds" for the U.S. House, it does represent a distinct example of generational change among Democrats, given that it shows a longtime representative ceding his seat to a new generation of lawmakers.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) who refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani in his race for New York City mayor quickly endorsed Sharif Street. He appeared with Street in a last minute get out to vote rally. Cherrelle Parker, the mayor of Philadelphia endorsed Street and it didn't matter.

Gov. Josh Shapiro who faced controversy for trying to taint primaries refused to endorse fearing potential backlash.

Stanford had backing of most U.S. House members and Patti LaBelle, the legendary singer/actress.
