Grijalva, daughter of the late Rep. Ra\u00fal Grijalva and a longtime Pima County Supervisor, secured 62% of the vote, while Foxx, despite her large social media following, managed just 21%.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"463\" data-end=\"816\">Foxx\u2019s campaign leaned heavily on her personal story\u2014growing up on food stamps and advocating for abortion rights\u2014but it failed to resonate. Progressive groups like David Hogg\u2019s PAC \u201cLeaders We Deserve\u201d backed her, but Grijalva\u2019s name recognition, party backing, and endorsements from leaders like Bernie Sanders and AOC carried her easily to victory.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"818\" data-end=\"1103\">Despite raising over $670,000 from small donors and attempting a social media\u2013driven campaign, Foxx couldn\u2019t overcome the dynasty advantage. Voters chose familiarity and experience over TikTok stardom, underscoring the challenges of translating online influence into electoral power.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1507\">Meanwhile in New York, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani\u2019s landslide mayoral primary win has emboldened the Democratic Socialists of America to consider primary challenges against high-profile Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The move highlights growing tensions within the party as progressives push to expand their influence, even at the expense of established leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Arizona\u2019s 7th Congressional District, 25-year-old progressive influencer Deja Foxx suffered a crushing defeat to Adelita Grijalva, losing by more than 40 points.
