## Key points

- The author says Democrats failed to scrutinise Hamawy before his primary win.
- Hamawy won with less than 29% in a 10-candidate field.
- Outside groups reportedly spent about $1.8 million backing his campaign.

## Summary

The opinion article argues that Representative-elect Adam Hamawy’s comments about Iran and his past testimony as a defence witness in the trial of Omar Abdel-Rahman should have drawn stronger scrutiny from fellow Democrats. It says party leaders and Hamawy’s primary rivals failed to challenge him because they feared being accused of Islamophobia, leaving voters without a clear debate about his record.

The author places Hamawy’s nomination in a wider argument about the influence of the Democratic Socialists of America and other left-wing activists within the Democratic Party. Hamawy won less than 29% of the vote in a 10-candidate primary, while outside groups and donors reportedly spent about $1.8 million supporting his campaign. The supplied article text ends mid-sentence during a reference to Michigan.
