Democratic socialists set sights beyond New York after Big Apple romp
Democratic socialists are expanding their political influence beyond New York following recent electoral victories, with the Democratic Socialists of America now targeting Colorado, Wisconsin, and other states. The movement gained momentum after DSA-backed candidates won races in New York City, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani's election last year and additional wins this past week.
