House Democratic members are having a tough 2026 cycle, with seven incumbents losing their primaries as a restless base revolts against the party’s establishment.

Seventy-eight-year-old Rep. John Larson (D-CT) marked the latest such loss, losing his Tuesday primary to 47-year-old former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin. Larson had served in Congress for almost three decades but lost to Bronin by more than 20 points.
