Except it might block efforts to take out Omar and Ocasio-Cortez, although those would likely be long-shot efforts.

Democrats in the House of Representatives, frightened by the internecine warfare threatened by hard leftists in their party against incumbents, are fighting back by doing their best to block primary challenges by warning political firms they will not work with them if the firms aid primary challengers to incumbents.
As the National Journal reports, on Friday the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued new hiring standards to over 100 political firms, one of which stated that the DCCC won’t contract with or recommend to House candidates any political firms that aid challengers to current House members.
DCCC Executive Director Allison Jaslow told the National Journal that the committee has “the ability to set the course for” the Democrats.
The National Journal points out that the new standards have a two-pronged approach: they prevent hard leftists from challenging more moderate members of the House who come from more moderate districts, but also protect the new-hard-line leftists who could easily be ousted in the next Congressional election. Such leftists could include Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who only needed 15,000 votes to be elected to the House in her New York district, or Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who has been criticized by members of her constituency for her anti-Semitic remarks.
