Summary
Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Jack Reed defeated two progressive primary challengers, Connor Burbridge and Luis Muñoz, in the 2024 primary. Reed, 76, will face Republican Ray McKay and independent Michael Bahry in the general election. Burbridge, a community organizer, and Muñoz, a medical entrepreneur, ran on progressive platforms including abolishing ICE and ending aid to Israel. Reed, a long-serving senator, has supported military aid to Israel despite criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His campaign reported over $3 million in receipts, while his opponents raised significantly less.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Reed stands in the same room, same speech, same name on the ballot.
Challengers arrive with new words, same old faces.
Money flows where it always flows, in the same direction.
Progressives say they are changing the game. The game says they are not.
