Progressive Democrat Dr. Adam Hamawy won the Democratic primary in New Jersey‘s 12th Congressional District, effectively guaranteeing him a seat in Congress.
The Associated Press called the race for Hamawy as the progressive led with 27.4% of the vote and 69% of ballots counted. His victory marks another major win for the ascendant progressive wing of the Democratic Party after Hamawy earned endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) during his campaign. His impending arrival in Congress is set to further expand the ranks of the so-called Squad.
