Fox News segment critiques rise of DSA candidates in Democratic primaries

Jul 4, 2026

Fox News host Sandra Smith interviews contributor Hugh Hewitt about Democratic Socialist of America-backed candidates winning primaries in New York City and challenging incumbents elsewhere. Discussion covers Zohran Mamdani's influence, specific races in Denver, Minnesota, and Michigan, and quotes from Sen. Chris Murphy and former Mayor Bill de Blasio. Hewitt argues the party is shifting too far left and these candidates cannot deliver or succeed nationally.
