The update includes eliminating the U.S. Senate and replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Additionally, the updated platform would include amnesty for all immigrants and defunding the Department of War.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">This would be in addition to the DSA\u2019s current policy platform, which calls for an &#8220;immediate end to all deportations,&#8221; free migration between countries without restrictive immigration controls, and &#8220;extending full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\"><strong>EXPERT WHO FLED CUBA WARNS OF \u2018VICIOUS CYCLE\u2019 THAT WILL LEAD TO \u2018COMMUNISTS IN DOUBLE DIGITS\u2019 IN CONGRESS<\/strong><\/p>\n<div data-layout-index=\"5\" class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/343\/192\/socialists-democratic-party-zohran-mamdani.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/686\/384\/socialists-democratic-party-zohran-mamdani.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/672\/378\/socialists-democratic-party-zohran-mamdani.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1344\/756\/socialists-democratic-party-zohran-mamdani.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/931\/523\/socialists-democratic-party-zohran-mamdani.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1862\/1046\/socialists-democratic-party-zohran-mamdani.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"523\" width=\"931\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/720\/405\/socialists-democratic-party-zohran-mamdani.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1440\/810\/socialists-democratic-party-zohran-mamdani.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1200\/675\/socialists-democratic-party-zohran-mamdani.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Members of the Democratic Socialists of America rally in New York City\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Members of the Democratic Socialists of America gather outside a Trump-owned building during a May Day rally in New York City in 2019.<\/span> <span>(Spencer Platt\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Once considered a fringe movement on the Democratic Party\u2019s progressive wing, the DSA has been gaining relevance, with several of its members toppling longtime establishment party figures. This has prompted many to speculate that the DSA represents the Democratic Party\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">While the DSA has endorsed the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., perhaps the most prominent member of the group is New York City socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani, an immigrant from Uganda, burst onto the national consciousness this year after he defeated former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">Since Mamdani\u2019s victory, the DSA has continued to gain momentum, with four of its endorsed candidates \u2014 Melat Kiros of Colorado, Darializa Avila-Chevalier of New York, Adam Hamawy of New York and Donavan McKinney of Michigan \u2014 each defeating sitting Democratic members of Congress in recent months.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\"><strong>SOCIALIST MAYOR KATIE WILSON SILENT AMID PROTESTS OVER \u2018HUMAN DUMPING GROUND\u2019 AHEAD OF US WORLD CUP MATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<div data-layout-index=\"5\" class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/343\/192\/mamdani.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/686\/384\/mamdani.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"192\" width=\"343\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/672\/378\/mamdani.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1344\/756\/mamdani.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"378\" width=\"672\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/931\/523\/mamdani.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1862\/1046\/mamdani.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"523\" width=\"931\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/720\/405\/mamdani.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1440\/810\/mamdani.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" height=\"405\" width=\"720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1200\/675\/mamdani.png?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Zohran Mamdani on election night\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p><span>Zohran Mamdani speaks during an election night event on June 25, 2025.<\/span> <span>(Christian Monterrosa\/Bloomberg via Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">These and other victories have emboldened the DSA, which touts itself as a &#8220;working-class alternative to the Democratic Party.&#8221;
