House Democrats want to win big. It could cost them.

Democrats are aiming for a significant victory in the upcoming elections, but their candidates in Republican-leaning areas are pushing hard to distance themselves from party leadership, which could create internal conflicts. This push for independence among leftist candidates could lead to a majority that's challenging to manage, potentially undermining party unity and complicating legislative efforts. The friction hints at a broader struggle within the party as progressives assert their voices, which could reshape the party's direction and effectiveness in the future.
