BERNIE BRO VS. PARTY BOSSES: Campa-Najjar V. Wilpert

December 16, 2025

California Democrats are once again locked in a messy power struggle over the soul of their party, this time in California’s 48th district. 

Today, a powerful left-wing political machine rushed to anoint establishment favorite Marni von Wilpert in a blatant attempt to kneecap progressive frontrunner Ammar Campa-Najjar and his Bernie-bro wing of the party. It’s a full-blown Democrat civil war, with party bosses and union power brokers openly at war with the far-left activists they helped create.

“This is what total Democrat dysfunction looks like: party bosses scheming in back rooms to crush their own base while Californians pay the price. Marni von Wilpert and Ammar Campa-Najjar are locked in a circular firing squad, more focused on appeasing special interests and radicals than serving California families.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
