The fight between establishment Democrats and insurgent left-wing candidates is heating up, and the establishment side looks rattled.

• Van Jones put out a video attacking far-left Democrats, listing ideals he supports while blasting DSA-backed candidates over police abolition and Israel.
• Greenwald says Jones traded his radical past for a CNN contract and establishment money after being pushed out of the Obama administration in 2009.
• The argument: voters aren't backing insurgents to abolish prisons — they're angry about the cost of living, forever wars, and money sent to Israel and Ukraine.
• Zohran Mamdani's rise came from going into working-class neighborhoods that swung to Trump and building a campaign around rent, small business red tape, and foreign policy.
• Establishment figures like Josh Gottheimer and Jared Moskowitz want leadership to condemn their own voters, a sign of how much pressure they feel.

Outlook: The primary challenges will keep coming, and establishment Democrats will keep being forced to defend themselves on hostile turf.
