He framed New York's historical ties to slavery as deeper than many Americans realize, pushing back on the assumption that complicity in the slave trade was limited to the South.

Don Leonard, the Democratic nominee in Ohio's competitive 15th Congressional District, told a podcast audience he would "lie to the people" to win their votes if he were a democratic socialist, a remark now shadowing a campaign already marked by ties to left-wing organizations, an academic paper calling for a socialist "counter-movement," and an arrest at a protest.
