Progressives and moderates within the Democrat Party are at odds about what caused their Party to lose seats in the 2020 House races. Moderates blamed socialist slogans and the progressives in the “Squad” blamed the party for being out of touch with what matters to their electorate.

Progressives criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a memo analyzing the 2020 losses in Congress, pointing to her “showing off” her expensive freezers full of ice cream during an interview about the pandemic.
