Republican congressman Jeff Crank has introduced a House resolution that takes aim at socialism across the board, crafted to put moderate Democrats on the spot over the Democratic Socialists of America before November's midterms. The move comes after Trump visited South Carolina, where he rallied supporters behind his characterisation of Democrats as proponents of 'radical' communism. According to a Brookings Institution analysis, 123 DSA-endorsed candidates had already cleared primaries this cycle as of mid-August.

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told Fox News that Americans are 'hungry' for the vision offered by Sanders, AOC and Zohran Mamdani.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel cautioned her own party that alienating Jewish voters while pursuing far-left support is 'a fundamental mistake.'

Crank's resolution points to Mamdani's New York City mayoral victory as the most telling indicator of the DSA's rising influence within the Democratic Party.
