When was the last time an incumbent Democrat lost a primary from the center?

Al Lawson beating Corrine Brown & Dwight Evans beating Chaka Fattah in 2016?

Marie Newman, although that was member vs. member after redistricting.

Either way, I don't think this would have been done if the group didn't see polls indicating these two are dunzo. It's a big risk. The Squad actively going against Biden during an election year likely changed the calculus a lot.

Does the GOP have a track record of primarying out kooks with more normal republicans? King to Feenstra and Cawthorn to Edwards are the two I can think of. Hopefully Boebert goes down in June.

Those are the only ones I can think of. Boebert is done, because she carpetbagged to another district with no interest in her antics. The next Congress will be down at least three crazies.
