Who Is in Charge?

Hatred of Donald Trump certainly seemed to help unify Democrats during the presidential election. But trouble may be brewing. Now with Joe Biden about to step into the Oval Office, differences between progressive leaning factions and the more moderate arm of the Democratic Party are surfacing, reports BRIGHT editors.

… there are already signs of friction between the Democrats’ most radical figures and more moderate forces in the party. During a CNN interview this weekend, squad member Ilhan Omar complained that progressives aren’t being given enough power in the coming Biden Administration.

Recently, Minnesota Rep Ilhan Omar, a Squad member, was asked if she agrees with Bernie Sanders’ recent statement that progressives don’t have enough of a “seat at the table” in the Biden Administration.

From Ilhan Omar:

I do. And this is, you know, what we have been saying and asking for. We worked diligently in trying to make sure that the people understood that it was important for us to get rid of Trump, but to have someone who was going to be partner with us in governing for progress in our country, and we continue to be hopeful in having that partnership as we have governed on behalf of our country.
