Deja Foxx’s defeat in Arizona’s 7th District showed that social media popularity doesn’t always win elections. While her campaign was strong online, Adelita Grijalva relied on deep local ties, union support, and long-standing name recognition.
Voters weren’t rejecting progressive ideas — they simply trusted a candidate with stronger community roots.
Zohran Mamdani’s rise in New York highlights the opposite approach. Years of grassroots organizing and direct contact with voters built support that social media alone cannot create. In the end, elections are still won on the ground, not online.
