Whoa, what just happened to the progressive Democrat movement in Los Angeles? Voters in the 34th Congressional District not only rejected the Berniecrats in the special election to replace Xavier Becerra on Tuesday, they veered decidedly Clintonesque.

Two Democrats, Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez and attorney and former city planning commissioner Robert Lee Ahn, took a commanding lead in the initial returns — 28% and 19%, respectively. Though provisional votes are still being counted, their lead is broad enough that it seems unlikely the results will flip in the final tally.
