Over 30 socialists have won primaries this year

This year has seen a notable surge in victories for candidates endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, with over 30 winning their primary elections and even toppling some long-standing incumbents. The DSA has fielded 150 candidates, of which 35 have either won their primaries or ran unopposed, while 34 faced losses. These wins are significant as they highlight a growing influence of socialist-endorsed candidates in both federal and local races, signaling a shift in political dynamics and potentially reshaping the ideological landscape of American politics.
