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.

- 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.
