Too early to tell. My gut reaction was that they're going to behave like Labour did to Corbyn and actively sabotage his campaign behind the scenes.

On the other hand, they were able to absorb AOC into their party machinery, so they might think they can do the same to Zohran.

I hope bro has thick skin and sound principles.

It's a bit different in the US because the campaigns have their own infrastructure mostly. I'm not sure if Zoran really needs to use any shared Democratic Party campaigning infrastructure. The parties aren't really traditional political parties like they are in the UK.

So even though Democrats are going to try to sabotage him, it isn't like they'll be able to do it from inside his campaign.
