Josh Shapiro Says Democrats Face 'Battle Over What We Believe In' After Socialist's Primary Victories
Shapiro said the party must confront its core beliefs as socialist-backed candidates win primaries and widen divisions over Israel, immigration and policing.
- On Sunday, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro criticized Chevalier, a democratic socialist who recently won her New York City primary, citing "profound differences" during a CNN interview.
- Supported by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Chevalier is aligned with candidates Claire Valdez and Brad Lander, who share socialist beliefs and advocate abolishing ICE.
- Her background includes attending an October 8th, 2023, Palestinian rally that reportedly featured rhetoric justifying the Hamas attack, alongside calls for open borders and prison abolition.
- President Donald Trump sardonically congratulated Mamdani on getting "3 solid Communists" elected, while Bill Maher and James Carville warned Democrats embracing socialists could damage electoral prospects.
- Shapiro expects the party to engage in a "very healthy" battle over its ideological future, though one House Democrat warned these candidates could cause a "headache" in 2027.
