Hasan Piker: "Left populist rage" spurred blue wave

Tuesday was a historic night for progressive Democrats and, in particular, candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America. Six new DSA-endorsed candidates were elected to the House, and democratic socialists won mayoral races in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Providence.

"The Democratic Socialists of America had a phenomenal night, and this movement is only going to continue to grow," says leftist political commentator Hasan Piker. “But also, what I heard in terms of rhetoric from the likes of James Talarico, or even John Ossoff, or Annie Andrews in South Carolina, or even Colom in Mississippi, is the left populist rage that they were able to tap into.”
