Republicans decry a new Democratic Socialists of America platform as Dem primaries split the party
Republicans are using the DSA’s Workers Deserve More platform to paint Democrats as extremist as progressive primary wins deepen party divisions.
- On Sunday, DSA co-chair Megan Romer appeared on Fox News Sunday, advocating for long-term policy shifts including plans to "abolish prisons, at least in large part," citing "crimes of poverty" as the primary driver.
- The DSA has emerged as a leading progressive force, securing primary victories across the country this year, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's mayoral election win last year within the Democratic Party.
- Romer confirmed support for defunding the Pentagon and replacing the Presidency "as we know them," while calling the Senate "an anachronistic institution" designed to limit democratic participation.
- House Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise likened the choice to "common sense" or "communism," while former Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison argued candidates should not "run for our nomination & use our resources" if they oppose the party.
- Senator Bernie Sanders defended the progressive resurgence against establishment criticism, while political strategist Doug Sosnik noted these victories reflect broader voter desire for economic change challenging the status quo ahead of November's midterms.
