Will the socialists take over the Democratic Party in the USA? One of the results of the mid-term elections is called the "left" of the Democratic Party. But is everything really so "red" there? How many social democrats or ultra-left democrats won the midterm elections? The new House of Representatives, which will begin work in January 2027, will have five or six Democrats (while counting) officially endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). In addition, 16 other candidates supported by DSA won the local elections, from the state assemblies to the city councils. As another achievement, the DSA has recorded eight referendums in which voters supported initiatives promoted by the organization (for example, Proposition 2 in Michigan, which aims for greater election transparency regarding corporate campaign financing). It is also worth considering three congresswomen, among them the democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whom the DSA did not support but who holds almost the same views as the organization. In all, the 2027 House of Representatives will have eight or nine openly democratic socialists among Democrats, whose total number could exceed 253 (according to the New York Times, votes are still being absorbed). It is worth remembering that the party has a so-called "progressive caucus" that promotes ideas and policies that can be associated with DSA. We are talking, for example, about the availability of health insurance and housing. According to the official website of the caucus, in addition to Ocasio-Cortez, there are 99 other members of Congress, including 98 members of the House of Representatives and one senator, Bernie Sanders (officially an independent, but almost always votes with the Democrats). That is, the total number of socialists and democratic parliamentarians ideologically close to them in the new assembly of the chamber could reach 106-107 people, which is almost 42-43% of the democrats in its composition. Obedience to the ideology of the electorate.
