WATCH: GOP senator warns 'hammer-and-sickle' politics will define Democrats' 2028 primary
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) warns that the Democratic Party's 2028 primary will be defined by a 'hammer-and-sickle' surge of radical leftist candidates, citing recent primary victories by progressive candidates in New York and Michigan. He highlights challenges to moderate incumbents like Reps. Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat, as well as the Senate race between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, and criticizes Democratic immigration policies as a key driver of this shift.
