The biggest upset of the night was in New York City's Bronx and Queens boroughs, where 10-term U.S. Representative Joseph Crowley - the No. 4-ranking Democrat in the House - lost to a 28-year-old liberal challenger and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Crowley's loss adds fuel to the battle between the party's establishment wing, embodied by longtime House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, and a left-wing insurgency inspired by Bernie Sanders' presidential run in 2016.
