在多名知名议员抨击前众议员科林·奥尔雷德之后，民主党内讧爆发。这些议员指责这位黑人民主党人在周二的决选获胜前，击败了得克萨斯州唯一一位公开出柜的女议员。
民主党议员马克·高野（加州民主党）和里奇·托雷斯（纽约州民主党）作为民主党盟友平等核心党政治分支的联合主席，尖锐批评奥尔雷德在达拉斯为核心的深蓝选区众议院席位的民主党初选中挑战众议员朱莉·约翰逊。
“众所周知，如果没有朱莉，得克萨斯州——乃至整个美国南部——将失去国会中公开的LGBTQ群体代表，”平等政治行动委员会（Equality PAC）的联合主席周三在一份声明中写道。“我们社群中的许多人仍对科林·奥尔雷德挑战我们同胞的决定深感痛心。”
“在他继续推进竞选的过程中，他有责任帮助弥合这些分歧，并重建受此次选举影响的社群之间的信任，”他们补充道。

这份声明标志着民主党内部的显著裂痕：该党一直倡导身份政治，此次分歧将一位异性恋黑人民主党人与一位白人女同性恋议员对立起来。
知名民主党盟友评论人士抨击这份声明对该党的选举工作毫无助益。
“我的天，这种抱怨实在太令人反感了。异性恋者有权参选，”记者乔希·巴罗在社交媒体上写道。
“把这破事留在‘觉醒101’吧，伙计们，”宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼的前高级助理特雷·伊斯顿在回应平等政治行动委员会的声明时说道。
平等政治行动委员会抨击奥尔雷德之际，众议院民主党领导层正指责共和党人试图通过在南部各州推进选区重划，削弱国会中的黑人代表比例。
“除了试图操纵中期选举，他们还想摧毁国会中的黑人和拉丁裔代表比例，”众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯5月初在MS NOW节目中谈及共和党时表示。

据《得克萨斯论坛报》报道，平等政治行动委员会至少为约翰逊的竞选活动捐赠了48.4万美元。约翰逊同时担任该组织的副主席。
奥尔雷德周二以近8个百分点的优势轻松击败约翰逊，赢得民主党初选决选。
此次决定性胜利终结了约翰逊短暂的议员生涯：2024年奥尔雷德挑战得克萨斯州参议员特德·克鲁兹的参议院竞选失败后，约翰逊接替他进入众议院。

Democratic infighting erupted after a handful of prominent lawmakers railed against former Rep. Colin Allred following Tuesday’s runoff election win, citing the Black Democrat’s decision to unseat Texas’ sole openly lesbian lawmaker.
Reps. Mark Takano, D-Calif., and Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., co-chairs of the Democrat-aligned Equality Caucus’ political arm, sharply criticized Allred for challenging Rep. Julie Johnson in the Democratic primary for a deep-blue Dallas-anchored House seat.
“It’s no secret that, without Julie, Texas — and likely the entire South — will lose openly LGBTQ representation in Congress,” the Equality PAC co-chairs wrote in a statement Wednesday. “Many in our community remain deeply hurt by Colin Allred’s decision to challenge one of our own.”
“As he moves forward, he bears a responsibility to help heal those divisions and rebuild trust with the communities impacted by this race,” they added.

The statement marked a notable rift in the party that has embraced identity politics, pitting a Black Democrat who is straight against a White lesbian lawmaker.
Prominent Democratic-aligned commentators blasted the statement as unhelpful to the party’s election efforts.
“Oh my god, this kind of whining is so off-putting. Straight people are allowed to run for office,” journalist Josh Barro wrote on social media.
“Leave this s— in Woke 1, besties,” Tré Easton, a former senior aide to Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said in response to the Equality PAC statement.
The Equality PAC’s attack on Allred also comes as House Democratic leadership has accused Republicans of trying to gut Black representation in Congress by pursuing redistricting in southern states.
“In addition to trying to rig the midterm elections, they want to decimate Black and Latino representation in Congress,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said of Republicans on MS NOW earlier in May.

The Equality PAC contributed at least $484,000 to Johnson’s campaign, the Texas Tribune reported. Johnson also serves as a vice-chair of the group.
Allred comfortably defeated Johnson Tuesday by a nearly 8-point margin in the Democratic primary runoff election.
The decisive victory ends Johnson’s short-lived career after she succeeded Allred in the House when he launched a failed Senate bid against Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in 2024.

The former congressman chose to challenge Johnson late last year after suspending his campaign for Texas’ 2026 Senate race.
Spokespersons for Allred and Johnson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
