Summary
Megan Romer, the Democratic Socialists of America’s national co-chair, said “true” when asked whether the group backs abolishing the Senate, and also endorsed ending national borders, prisons, ICE and other institutions.
On Fox News Sunday, Romer said some ideas — including abolishing borders and prisons — are part of the DSA’s long-term vision, while defending a platform that also calls for replacing the presidency and Supreme Court.
Romer argued the Senate is an “anachronistic institution” designed to limit ordinary Americans’ influence, saying the DSA wants a significantly expanded but unicameral Congress.
She also defended running DSA candidates on the Democratic ballot line, saying third-party ballot access is too difficult and voters are “overwhelmingly choosing” their candidates.
The remarks land as prominent Democrats warn the party could alienate voters by embracing positions associated with the DSA, underscoring widening ideological strains inside the party.
