A group of far-left Democrats in the House, known as the "Squad," is likely to grow in the next Congress by as many as 10 members after the midterm election handed wins to four new progressive left lawmakers.

The "Squad" was founded by four Democratic women in 2019:Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. The group added two new members after the 2020 election, Cori Bush of Missouri and Jamaal Brown of New York.

Last night’s midterm election, which appears to have fallen short of GOP hopes, is also likely to expand the "Squad’s" influence among Democrats. All six current "Squad" members easily won their races on Tuesday, and at least four new members are likely to be added to the progressive group.
