Democratic lawmakers cannot agree on whether to embrace or disavow far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, and the divide is exposing a fault line between the party's progressive wing and members who say tolerating extremism has a cost. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez waved off the growing controversy surrounding Piker's role in the 2026 midterm cycle, telling The Hill on Thursday that the attention was unwarranted. Rep. Pramila Jayapal took a softer line, arguing Democrats need Piker's audience. And Rep. Josh Gottheimer went the other direction entirely, demanding that candidates who appeared with Piker condemn his views outright. The split landed squarely on Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, who has campaigned repeatedly…Open
House Democrats are grumbling that Republicans are setting one last political trap for them before November by attaching language touting their marquee voter ID legislation to a resolution denouncing socialism. Why it matters: This is a classic election-year tactic by the majority party in Congress, but centrist Democrats say it is also a missed opportunity for a genuinely bipartisan vote to denounce socialism. - "This isn't a serious bill," Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), a vocal moderate who has clashed fiercely with his party's democratic socialist wing, told Axios. - "If you actually want to take on socialism instead of playing political games, you don't slip in the SAVE [America] Act as a poison pill that you know no Democrat will…

Rep. Josh Gottheimer is telling his own party that the Democratic Socialists of America are trying to hijack the Democratic brand, and he wants them shown the door. The New Jersey Democrat, a leader of the moderate Blue Dog Coalition and a member of the House Intelligence Committee, went on Fox News Sunday to deliver a blunt message: DSA members are not Democrats, their values clash with the party's, and they should start their own organization instead of borrowing the Democratic label to push what he called a communist, anti-American, open-borders agenda. His remarks landed the same weekend the DSA held its Socialists Summit in Chicago, where convention footage captured members voicing support for the Communist Manifesto, Russian…Open
Gottheimer said the Democratic Socialists of America are "not Democrats," and their platform is incompatible with the Democratic Party's.
Last week's dramatic showdown over cutting U.S. aid to Israel offered a glimpse into just how profoundly progressive anger is reshaping Democratic politics. Why it matters: It's not just that the left is winning seats — they're ousting incumbents and instilling panic among House Democrats, who fear they may be next if they don't take a more hostile posture toward Israel. - "Our primary victories this cycle defeating AIPAC-backed candidates ... is forcing the Democratic caucus to finally heed the calls of their voters," said Usamah Andrabi, a spokesperson for Justice Democrats. - It's a reality the pro-Israel center sees as well. "This is no longer about substance," Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) tells Axios, "It's about the raw fear of…
