Jeffries: Democratic Socialists of America Will Be Part of Our 'Broad Caucus'

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said if elected, some Democratic Socialists of America members will be part of the Democrats’ “broad caucus.” Host Kristen Welker said, “Do Democratic Socialists belong in the Democratic Party?”

It was the Democratic Party's "Summer of Socialism," as an email from the Republican National Committee cheerfully called it that morning, and Ashik Siddique, a co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, was standing on a chair outside a bar, rallying the comrades.

Democratic Socialists are capturing more votes than ever before — even as they run up against the limits of their appeal.
