"The addition of around 20 newly elected members to the CPC brings total membership of the caucus to over 90 and moves its ideological center of gravity significantly leftward, given that many members were elected on unabashedly left-wing platforms that called for transformative climate action and robust economic measures to stem soaring inequality."

The Congressional Progressive Caucus now has 90 members and will now direct much of the policy. This is the Bernie wing of the Democratic party. He is the lone senate member.

Here is a list of the house members and it is a list of who's who and the most liberal house members. Note the one senate member is Bernie Sanders. This is also the group and their dem voters that supported him and why there was such a fight within the Democratic party.

As I have been saying for a long time, these folks represent the future of the Democratic party. Hillary and her policies were out of step with this group and why Bernie got so much support.
