The Democratic socialists are no longer on the fringe

Democratic Socialists are gaining traction in U.S. politics, with candidates like Darializa Avila Chevalier and Melat Kiros winning primary elections. Their platform includes policies such as Medicare for All and abolishing ICE, though House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has not endorsed some of the progressive candidates. The movement's influence extends beyond urban areas, as seen in Kiros's victory in Colorado.
