When was the last time an incumbent Democrat lost a primary from the center?

Al Lawson beating Corrine Brown & Dwight Evans beating Chaka Fattah in 2016?

Marie Newman, although that was member vs. member after redistricting.

Either way, I don't think this would have been done if the group didn't see polls indicating these two are dunzo. It's a big risk. The Squad actively going against Biden during an election year likely changed the calculus a lot.

Does the GOP have a track record of primarying out kooks with more normal republicans? King to Feenstra and Cawthorn to Edwards are the two I can think of. Hopefully Boebert goes down in June.

Those are the only ones I can think of. Boebert is done, because she carpetbagged to another district with no interest in her antics. The next Congress will be down at least three crazies.

You also have Victoria Spartz and Nancy Mace of Spartz/Mace cycle fame.
