No. The Democrats are trying as hard as possible to disassociate themselves from "progressive" and "leftist" politics and pivot to a center-right position to attract disaffected Trumpists and conservatives because the DSA scares the shit out of them and AOC has basically taken on all of the "communist antichrist" energy that Obama used to get from the right (remember her "kill list?") The only woman the right hates more is Hillary Clinton.

They'll pick a white Christian man who's opposed to Trump's personality and behavior but agrees that "wokism" and progressive politics have been a failure and that the Democrats need to abandon social issues and focus on economic policy, and that rather than pursue partisan retribution we need to simply "move on" from the Trump years.
