密歇根州的多诺万·麦金尼是参与挑战现任议员的民主社会主义者候选人之一
2026年8月3日 美国东部时间下午1:00 / 福克斯新闻频道
一名试图推翻现任众议院民主党议员的社会主义党候选人表示，他在“一个议题”上与共和党人立场一致。
密歇根州州议员多诺万·麦金尼是民主社会主义者组织（DSA）成员之一，在2026年11月中期选举来临之际，该组织成员正在全美范围内挑战建制派民主党人。
该组织成员已证明，他们在左翼基础选民中是一股不可忽视的力量，同时还在努力争取同样支持工薪阶层、反建制的选民群体——这种选民群体曾帮助唐纳德·特朗普总统在2016年当选。

最新例证来自麦金尼近日在接受《Zeteo新闻》采访时的表态：“我得承认共和党人——我在这个议题上与他们立场一致。这个议题就是浪费、欺诈和滥用职权。”
但他在问题根源上与共和党人存在分歧。
“共和党人的分析是，浪费、欺诈和滥用职权出现在穷人身上。就好比，你知道的，选举欺诈。穷人利用系统牟利的比例只有0.0001%，非常非常小的一部分人，”麦金尼说。“真正的浪费、欺诈和滥用职权，来自于我们的纳税人美元补贴企业和富人，让他们变得更富有，而我们却一直处于贫困之中。”

“我们会打击浪费、欺诈和滥用职权，但我们会针对的是该国收入最高的1%人群，”他补充道，这是他当选众议员后的施政目标。
麦金尼的竞选目标是推翻密歇根州民主党众议员什里·塔纳德的席位，后者作为一名进步派人士，因该党反以色列立场与民主社会主义者组织决裂。
在近日的一场集会上，麦金尼试图呼吁那些因日常生活成本高企而倍感压力的选民。
众议院共和党人计划将民主党内战转化为中期选举武器
“我在各个社区听到的都是，我没有足够的资源维持生计。我对政治的定义很简单，就是资源的再分配。我们现在要把纳税人的钱拿去海外买炸弹和武器，去杀害平民和儿童。再也不要支持种族灭绝了。我认为这太可耻了，”他说道。
“我们平均每天在伊朗花费数十亿美元。而你们却告诉我，我选区的民众、老年人、我们的孩子、最弱势群体，无法获得他们应得的资源？我不认为这是任何人想要生活的美国，我说得对吗？”
他还批评两党中“自私自利”的议员脱离了全美民众正在苦苦挣扎的现实。

但在国会另一边，左翼社会主义势力的日益崛起，可能会给共和党人带来助力——他们本就在为保住众议院多数席位而苦苦挣扎。

全美各地的共和党领导人都警告称，美国人并不认同社会主义及其核心理念，比如财富再分配和资本主义的消亡。
与此同时，与民主社会主义者组织有关联的候选人已经在纽约州和科罗拉多州击败了现任众议院民主党议员。

Socialist House candidate says he agrees with Republicans on ‘one issue’
Michigan’s Donavan McKinney is among the DSA candidates working to primary incumbents
August 3, 2026 1:00pm EDT / Fox News
A socialist candidate vying to unseat a sitting House Democrat says there is “one issue” he agrees with Republicans on.
Michigan state lawmaker Donavan McKinney is among the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members giving establishment Democrats a run for their money across the country ahead of the 2026 midterm elections in November.
Members of the group have shown that they’re a potent force among the left’s base voters, while also working to appeal to the same working-class, anti-establishment sentiment that helped President Donald Trump get elected in 2016.

The latest evidence of that is McKinney’s tease in a recent interview with Zeteo News, “I gotta give Republicans — I agree with them on this one issue. The one issue is waste, fraud and abuse.”
But he differed with the GOP on where that’s coming from.
“Republicans’ analysis is there’s waste, fraud and abuse when it comes to the poor. It’s kind of like, you know, voting fraud. There’s like .0001%, like very small percentage of folks, poor people, take advantage of the system,” McKinney said. “The waste, fraud and abuse is coming from our taxpayer dollars subsidizing our corporations and the wealthy, so they can get richer and we keep being poor.”

“We’re gonna attack the waste, fraud and abuse, but we’re going to attack it for the top 1% earners in this country,” he added of his goals if elected to the House.
McKinney is running to unseat Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., a progressive who split with the DSA over the party’s anti-Israel sentiment.
And during a rally over the weekend, McKinney attempted to appeal to voters who feel the strain of high costs in their everyday lives.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS AIM TO TURN DEMOCRATIC CIVIL WAR INTO MIDTERM WEAPON
“All I hear across our communities is that I don’t have enough resources to survive. I would define politics, it’s pretty simple, it’s the redistribution of resources. Well, we have to take our taxpayer money to send it overseas for bombs and weapons, to kill families and children. No more to support genocide. I think that’s a damn shame,” he said.
“We’re in Iran spending billions of dollars a day on average. And you’re telling me the people in my district, the seniors, our children, our most vulnerable populations can’t get the resources they deserve? I don’t think this is the America anyone wants us to live in, am I right?”
He also criticized “self-interested” lawmakers in both parties for falling out of touch with what Americans across the country are struggling with.

But on the other side of the aisle, the growing insurgency from the socialist left could provide a boon to Republicans who are fighting an uphill battle to keep control of the House.

GOP leaders across the country are warning that Americans are not interested in socialism or its core beliefs, like the redistribution of wealth and demise of capitalism.
Meanwhile, DSA-linked candidates have already unseated incumbent House Democrats in New York and Colorado.
