Bynum would be a solid Democratic vote, and I imagine she possibly joins the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
She has a history of defeating Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
Democratic leadership seems to have a genuine preference for Bynum. I believe Hakeem Jeffries even recruited her to run. The generally don't weigh in on open primaries, but they weighed in even before Lynn Peterson dropped out, if I'm not mistaking.
My feelings are that if the DCCC and Democratic leadership feel this strongly about it, they may have a good reason. They have may done oppo research and don't feel confident in JMS's ability to win.
Bynum would also be the first African American ever elected to represent Oregon to congress, if I'm not mistaking.
