Founding Partner at Cavalry LLC and co-host of the Ruthless podcast, Josh Holmes analyzes the rise of new Democratic Socialists of America candidates and the challenges this poses for the Democratic Party. He explains how the DSA has effectively organized and communicated its message, while Democratic leadership appears unwilling to acknowledge a shift in the party.
