Mapped: Socialists Just Captured America’s Two Biggest Cities – As ‘Blue Wave’ Knocks The Market’s Teeth In
f Nithya Raman’s lead in Los Angeles holds, about 14.4 million Americans will live under a socialist mayor, up from 9.4 million before Tuesday, and the country’s two largest cities will both be run by members of the Democratic Socialists of America. Decision Desk HQ projected Wednesday that Raman, a DSA member on the City Council, unseated Mayor Karen Bass. The AP has not called the race.
Tuesday also sent eight DSA members to the House: six newcomers plus Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, who were re-elected. Washington, D.C., Providence and Ann Arbor elected socialist mayors, and socialists won or lead in a dozen city council races from Burbank to Providence.
