Hawaii's 2024 House elections will see if voters in the state stick to the centrist wing of the Democrat party.
The Aloha State holds a unique place in United States politics — despite the Democrats' monopoly on power — as the state's Democrats are uncharacteristically moderate. The upcoming 2024 elections will decide whether this trend holds true, or whether progressives will pull off an upset.As the Cook Political Report reports, Republicans have not won a federal election since 2010, when two Democrats split the party's vote.
"Progressives have been itching to increase their clout, but their challenge is that the Hawaii Democratic party has been 'a big tent party' which is economically liberal, union-friendly, and rather socially moderate," Franco explained."The almost demise of the GOP in Hawaii has been largely a result of many Hawaiian Republicans registering as Democrats, and indeed many state-level officeholders changing parties and running successfully as Democrats.
"The progressive wing of the Democratic Party plays an important role in Hawaii, but the diversity of Hawaii’s Democratic Party makes it far more difficult for progressives to decisively dominate the party as compared to California and other states in the continental United States," the strategist said, explaining that voters in Hawaii are usually more removed from issues that matter in D.C.
