Back to EpisodesEvening Edition: Examining the Democratic Socialist Surge
Description
This November will see an increased number of democratic party nominees for high office either being endorsed outright by the Democratic Socialists of America, or at least being somewhat in sympathy with their views.
While it's uncertain how much of an impact the DSA’s influence will have on the outcome in November, the movement appears to be gaining momentum. FOX Business’ David Asman joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to dissect the far-left movement's growing influence and the escalating debate over free-market capitalism versus government control.
Asman breaks down the historical record of socialist policies versus free-market capitalism, explaining how past economic failures contrast sharply with modern political rhetoric targeted at younger generations. He exposes the reality behind DSA platforms—including proposal price tags ranging from $70 trillion to $200 trillion.
Plus, Asman previews his FOX Business special, "FOX Business in Depth: Socialism Threat and the Future of Capitalism," examining how mainstream politicians are shifting left to court socialist voters ahead of upcoming elections.
