Boston city councilor Ayanna Pressley unseated 10-term U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano in a Democratic primary Tuesday in the latest shakeup of the House Democratic caucus by a far-left challenger.
Capuano conceded defeat to Pressley in the race to represent Massachusetts' 7th District approximately 30 minutes before The Associated Press formally called the race. With 69 percent of precincts reporting late Tuesday, Pressley had the lead by 10,682 votes.
Pressley, who is running unopposed in November, is set to become the first African-American woman elected to Congress from the Commonwealth.

The once great Democrat party has become a party of anarchists bent on the destruction of America and all it stands for.
In a parliamentary system the crazies all band together into lots of small niche parties called things like the Democratic Social Justice for Green Workers Party. In the USA, they just join the democrats.
Capuano and Crowley are both as far left as you can get. They were not beaten for socialism.
Unfortunately for them, they are both white.
Ideology is so 20th Century. The 21st Century is the century of the blood.
The Kavanaugh hearings are proving that out. Anarchy on the Senate floor.
Some of us saw this coming decades ago . . Ok, well not THIS BAD
And yet Dims want to talk about “division”
SMH
At least it’s dims beating dims.
Until their defeats, I had never heard of either of these two eastern liberal congressmen.
No term limit so she’ll be there until the end of time
Not a great surprise to me that a Socialist Democrat beat a run of the mill Democrat on the great Socialist State of Assachusetts.
The Dems will never fight for you ,they will fight to destroy what you have
Live by the liberal sword.... die by the liberal sword. How fitting....
