Oliver Larkin Backs Abolishing Senate, Urges Netanyahu Arrest in Florida's 25th Primary

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 23

Summary

  • Oliver Larkin, a 33-year-old DSA-endorsed challenger to Rep. Jared Moskowitz, said he supports abolishing the U.S. Senate and enforcing an ICC warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a U.S. visit.
  • Larkin also called Israel's ruling coalition a "religious supremacist regime," backs ending all U.S. military aid to Israel, and supports a one-state solution with equal rights for all people.
  • The Democratic Socialists of America this week proposed scrapping the Senate and expanding the House, and Larkin said the chamber is "mathematically undemocratic" because sparsely populated states get equal representation.
  • Florida's newly redrawn 25th District is one of roughly two dozen swing seats that could decide House control, though Moskowitz currently leads Larkin in both polling and fundraising.
  • The race extends a broader Democratic ideological fight after far-left primary wins in New York City and Colorado, with more clashes looming in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and then Florida next month.
