ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Is the rise of democratic socialism helping — or hurting — the Democratic Party? In this episode of “Make It Make Sense,” James Hohmann and Ruy Teixeira, co-author of “The Emerging Democratic Majority,” examine the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America and the party’s continued struggle with working-class voters. They discuss whether socialist candidates can win outside deep-blue districts; the divide between progressive professionals and working-class Democrats; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s prospects in 2028; and how the party could rebuild its appeal on immigration, energy, cultural and economic issues.
