DSA bolsters Congress contingent after socialists pick up at least 4 House seats
New York Post ^ | November 3, 2026 | Victor Nava

Socialists more than doubled their ranks in the House of Representatives Tuesday after a series of expected midterm election wins in Democratic strongholds.

Far-left candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) were projected to win at least four House races, expanding the number of socialist lawmakers in the lower chamber from two to six.

The House’s current DSA darlings – Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) – cruised to re-election in their respective races as well.

Joining them in the next Congress from the radical flank of the Democratic Party will be:

• Melat Kiros, a Gen Z socialist who received a whopping 78.3% of the vote in Colorado’s solidly blue 1st Congressional District.

• Chris Rabb, a DSA national and AOC endorsee who trounced his independent opponent in Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District by a 93% to 7% margin.

• Claire Valdez, a supporter of nationwide rent control who garnered 83.1% in New York’s solidly blue 7th Congressional District.

• Darializa Avila Chevalier, a staunch critic of Israel who cruised New York’s 13th Congressional District race with 87.5% of the vote.

• Donovan McKinney, who ousted two-term Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) in Michigan’s 13th Congressional District Democratic primary, also appeared poised to dispatch GOP longshot TP Nykoriak in his race.

The DSA is actually weakened:

When the House has a slim majority, a small bloc holds the cards. That’s where the Freedom caucus has been positioned.

The Democrats will have a wide enough margin that the support of a bigger squad won’t be essential to the Speaker.

My guess is that they’re going to waste the next two years impeaching Trump. Then they’ll approve a bill to fund Ukraine lol.

Yay!, Socialism! The battle between DemonicRAT National Socialists and DemonicRAT Socialist Dinosaurs should be fun to watch.

I'll give you credit for one thing. You're not a bot.

None of the FR bots are posting tonight, just like November 5, 2024.
