Democratic Socialists Gain Ground in Major Primaries

Democrats supporting democratic socialism are gaining victories in significant primary elections across major cities. Zohran Mamdani, New York’s first democratic socialist mayor, successfully endorsed U.S. House candidates who have now secured primary wins.
