Who Speaks For The Parties? Dems and GOP Fight It Out
Published 3 weeks ago
Description
Are socialists taking over the Democratic Party? New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a proud Democratic Socialist, won some stunning victories in Congressional primaries. His chosen candidates beat out more mainstream Democrats.
Republicans have their own issues. President Trump met with several GOP senators and things got testy. His decision to target sitting Republicans in recent primaries may be backfiring because, well, those incumbents are still in office for now and have nothing to lose.
Both parties face infighting and an identity crisis. What does this say about our politics?
