Summary
Next week, the Democratic Socialists of America plans to unveil a platform that would eliminate the U.S. Senate and replace the president and Supreme Court with bodies chosen by Congress.
The update also calls for amnesty for all immigrants and defunding the Department of War, expanding a current agenda that already backs ending deportations, free migration and voting rights for noncitizens.
Four DSA-endorsed candidates — Melat Kiros in Colorado, Darializa Avila-Chevalier and Adam Hamawy in New York, and Donavan McKinney in Michigan — recently defeated sitting Democratic members of Congress, boosting the group’s clout.
That momentum has fueled speculation that the once-fringe organization is gaining sway inside the Democratic Party, alongside high-profile figures such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
