DCCC blacklist

On March 22, 2019, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced that it would no longer do business with firms who also worked with primary challengers to Democratic U.S. House members and encouraged House members' campaigns to do the same.

In an interview with National Journal, Rep. James Clyburn (D) praised the policy change. He argued that the existing policy had been unfair because it meant that the DCCC was providing funds to firms who were working to oppose the re-election of dues-paying House Democrats. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) criticized the policy on Twitter, calling it "extremely divisive & harmful to the party". She urged supporters to halt donations to the DCCC and give directly to candidates instead.

Following the announcement, influencer groups opposed to the decision, including Justice Democrats, Democracy for America, and Our Revolution, launched DCCC Blacklist. The website's purpose is "to fight back and provide potential primary challengers with a database of go-to vendors, organizations, and consultants who will continue to support efforts to usher in a new generation of leaders into the Democratic Party."

On March 9, 2021, the chairman of the DCCC, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D), reversed the policy. "This policy change means that the only criteria for a vendor to be listed in the directory are our standards for fair business practices," said Chris Taylor, a spokesman for Maloney.

2018 endorsement of Cynthia Nixon

The Working Families Party’s (WFP) endorsement of “Sex and the City” star and self-described progressive Cynthia Nixon (D) over Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) in the New York gubernatorial primary was followed by a split in the party’s membership.

Shortly before the WFP endorsed Nixon, seven unions withdrew from the party, including 32BJ SEIU and the Communications Workers of America Local 1, which backed Cuomo in the race. The WFP endorsed Cuomo in 2014.
