To the Editor:Re “A Progressive’s Loss Signals a Shift to the Center” (front page, June 27):Notwithstanding the penchant for handicapping that permeates the article, Jamaal Bowman’s landslide loss tells us nothing about the future of “the left” or the “Squad” (scare quotes).
Not only did Mr.
What the article does tell us, and it’s not rocket science, is that Democrats need to be running moderates in moderate districts and progressives in progressive districts if we want to take back the House.
There’s plenty of time to argue after we replace the current clown show.

CantwellDelray Beach, Fla.To the Editor:You offer needlessly complex reasons for why and how Jamaal Bowman lost his seat in Congress, ranging from broad shifts in the electorate away from progressive ideologies to differences in organizational skill and campaign spending between groups like Justice Democrats and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC.
