Democratic moderates urge block DSA proposals if House flips to Democrats
Rep. Laura Gillen warned that Democratic moderates must unite to keep DSA-backed bills off the House floor if Democrats win control in the midterms.
In an interview, Gillen said that should Democrats take the House, moderates need to work together to block what she called “crazy” legislation from DSA members. She referenced the existing presence of the Squad and noted that several DSA candidates in New York are running in heavily Democratic districts, making their election likely. The remarks highlight concerns about the party’s legislative direction.
