About this episode

Josh Holmes discusses the rise of Democratic Socialists and its implications for the Democratic Party and Republicans in the upcoming midterms.

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. Dana and Josh also explain what this could mean for Republicans in the 2026 midterms. Uphill Battle: Josh questions whether hyper-partisanship has gone so far that some politicians refuse even to celebrate America’s upcoming 250th birthday. Learn more about your ad choices.
