And PR's Elena Moore reports those tensions could make it harder to hold the democratic coalition together in close races this fall.
"The general election is all about growing your coalition, but that only matters if Democrats show up and in full. It's clear these anti-establishment candidates are re-energizing a part of the base that has felt disconnected from the party in recent elections.

had been dealing with dry faucets for months. The tidy three-story condo building on Poma Rosa Street last reliable water service about a year ago. Many days, like today, they get none. Other days, there's just enough water pressure for a trickle to reach the first floor
