The Democratic Socialists of America Score Big Wins in Congress
It was a big night for candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America. In Florida, DSA candidate Angie Nixon nearly defeated incumbent Republican Senator Ashley Moody, even though Nixon was vastly outspent and only received support from national Democratic leaders in the waning days of the race. Here in New York City, two DSA-backed candidates, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez, won congressional seats along with former City Comptroller Brad Lander. All three were endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in their competitive primary races.

Well that was a night. The glad spectacle of a newly sentient America tottering back to its capacious ideals was dubbed Orange Crush, Bluenami, a political earthquake, a wily tweak to Hegseth’s coveted public execution and “one of the great acts of defiance in American history.” It was both landslide too big to rig or stop and “extinction-level” rout. Above all, it was a thunderous rejection of fear, greed, lies, cruelty, war-mongering, authoritarianism. Tell your kids, urged Abdul El-Sayed, “The bad guys lost.”
