An article in the AP News states that the focus on local-level wins has already helped progressives gain influence and power. In addition, local wins may help progressives find breakout members who will move further up the political ladder in the Elections 2024. Association of Flight Attendants President Sara Nelson stated that instead of focusing only on the Presidential Elections, the progressives strategized on how to build the bench.

According to an article on PBS, the focus on local level wins followed years of gradual progress and some setbacks. For instance, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders had lost each time he was aligned with the Democratic Party. Progressives have also been defeated during primary campaigns in New York, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas last year. Nonetheless, Sanders still pushes the mainstream Democrats on crucial issues such as climate change and student loan debts.
