Summer Lee is a Bernie-Sanders-backed progressive who has tweeted against US politicians’ support for Israel and in favor of a “plan … to dismantle [the Democratic Party].” She has also publicly called out President Biden for “casual racism.”Polls show her in the lead for the Democratic nomination in Western Pennsylvania’s District 12 Congressional race ahead of the May 17 Pennsylvania primary.Many Democratic leaders view Lee, a graduate of Howard University law school who in 2018 won a landslide election to Pennsylvania’s state house, as a rising Democratic star. Her political journey to Washington DC, many believe, will inevitably see her join “Squad” members like Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) — both of whom endorsed her last week.
