Socialism Goes Mainstream

Sean Hannity opens with 78 days until Election Day and argues that the Democratic Socialists of America are becoming an increasingly influential force inside the Democratic Party. He highlights a New York DSA lawmaker’s comments suggesting some shoplifting should not result in arrest, a DSA tribute to Fidel Castro, and polling showing Democrats viewing socialism more favorably than capitalism. Hannity warns that the organization’s stated positions on policing, immigration, government spending and the structure of the federal government could become central issues in the midterms. He also revisits Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s association with Hasan Piker and discusses new allegations involving Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson. The hour is framed around Hannity’s argument that Republicans will need presidential-election-level turnout to overcome traditional midterm trends.
