The Democratic Party’s loss of control over the White House and the Senate has already galvanized furious intraparty debate. The brewing civil war amongst Democrats will either result in a doubling down of centrist establishmentarianism or the formal adoption of a left-wing, populist platform that embraces the core pillars of socialism.

    This Heartland Policy Brief – Socialist Watch 2024: An Analysis of Socialist Candidates in the 2024 General Election – analyzes the 2024 election results for candidates who were formally endorsed at the national level by at least one of the three most prominent socialist organizations in the United States: Our Revolution, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and the Progressive Democrats of America (PDA). These organizations explicitly support socialist ideology and inherently socialist policies such as the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free college tuition, and wealth taxes, as well as the general expansion of the welfare state, total governmental control over the economy, and the eradication of free-market capitalism.
