It's very rare for incumbent Democrats to lose congressional primaries based on ideology, absent redistricting. In the past 5 House elections (2016-2024), it happened 8 times total. This year it's happened 4 times so far and a bunch of states have yet to hold primaries.

![Transcript of Vance interview with Rogan: “There's a concrete example that Orin [Cass] uses all the time. So in some European countries, you have a minimum wage, right? In some European countries, the union can actually cut a deal with the employer to where you pay a brand new employee less than the minimum wage, then you pay a more senior person higher than the minimum wage.
But in order to pay the junior employee less than the minimum wage, you have to provide them job training and better benefits and so forth. So the idea is for the first couple of years, you turn the company almost into an educational institution. But in order to do that, the union has to have flexibility.
That kind of arrangement is effectively illegal in the United States of America. So it's that you create the ability for the union to be more flexible in how it negotiates. You don't set all the terms for it, you allow the union to figure out what's in the best interest of its membership.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lm6jq3ipjafesblcgogdenxk/bafkreid2keyp732syxn37pealcue2vxjyrxhrnylffvdmn3jxyxoinf7py)
