Simple: the Democratic party is more terrified of another AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) taking their seat than they are of any Republican taking their seat.
If an AOC-type takes their seat, the seat is lost to corporatocrats for 30 years. If a Republican takes their seat, they can probably get it back next election.
