Kellyanne Conway Dismisses Socialist Primary Wins in 29% Democrat Patriotism Gap Debate

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 26

Summary

  • Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday’s Democratic primary victories by progressive and socialist candidates reflect only “very curated, specific districts,” not a broader national shift ahead of the 2026 midterms.
  • Those remarks followed high-profile wins by left-wing candidates that reignited debate over whether the Democratic Party is moving further left and whether that message can scale beyond local strongholds.
  • Conway tied her argument to a patriotism poll showing 90% of Republicans versus 29% of Democrats said they were extremely or very proud to be American, calling that split evidence Democrats are drifting from mainstream voters.
  • At the same Capitol Hill event marking the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary, Conway also said she was “not at all” surprised that her ex-husband George Conway lost his bid to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler.
