Welcome to your coming midterm loss.
Via Free Beacon:
Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D., N.M.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, on Sunday embraced the Democratic Socialists of America, saying the organization’s platform provides a “positive conversation” for Democrats.
Luján appeared on MSNBC’s “Kasie DC” to discuss several political issues, including Democratic leadership and the prospect of Democrats taking back the House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm elections in November.
“Do you think that the Democratic Socialists Party of America [sic]—do you think they’ll have a place in the Democratic caucus?” host Kasie Hunt asked.
Luján responded by touting the work of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), who caucuses with Senate Democrats, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-proclaimed socialist and congressional candidate in New York’s 14th district. The DCCC chair added that both are “driving a conversation” about how their policies affect the American people.
“Do you think that conversation helps you win back the House, or does it hurt your efforts?” Hunt asked.
