"The Squad" is a term for four congresswomen who made friends as newcomers, not the list of oft-outspoken progressive women who find themselves mostly ideologically aligned (otherwise, a broader definition would include Barbara Lee and Pramila Jayapal, and a stricter definition would exclude Pressley).

No one will join "the squad", but there could be a media cycle surrounding a "new squad" if other oft-outspoken progressive women make it to Congress. If it existed, I'd predict this cycle would be even shorter than that surrounding the "conservative squad", given that a repeat of 2018's phenomenon would be less newsworthy than the original thing.

Gomez and Newman seem more likely than not to go to Congress. Eastman is favoured to win
the primary and the GE if she wins the primary, but her odds of winning both are <50%. Sadly, the antisemitic spook will probably win (this time) in NM-03.

Are you referring to Valerie Plame?

The squad just refers to 4 freshman elected in 2018, so no one. If you mean Justice Dems, whoever gets their endorsement.

None of these, but Sarah Jacobs is favored over Gomez in CA-53, Ann Ashford probably wins in NE-02, Newman is all likelihood going to be elected, and Teresa Leger Fernandez probably beats Plame. So, of these Newman and Teresa Leger Fernandez are probably the ones who go to Congress

Yes.

She sounds like a horrible person. The ironic part is that actually she has Jewish ancestry.

Nobody else will officially join the squad, though there may be others ideologically aligned with them.

The squad is a right wing creation, so whoever ends up triggering them the most while being non-"white" and having a vagina

Shame on any leftist who even uses this term.
