民主党初选中日益高涨的社会主义势头威胁着党内团结，极左翼候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德以微弱优势获得48.5%的选票，在密歇根州击败温和派候选人黑利·史蒂文斯。

众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党人迈克·约翰逊认为，随着左翼社会主义 insurgency 不断击败党内建制派候选人，民主党正走上一条黑暗道路。
竞选活动中的共和党人抓住了民主党党内激烈的内斗，警告称最近一批与美国民主社会主义者（DSA）有关联的候选人获胜，正将美国两大主要政党之一推向远超绝大多数美国人接受程度的极左翼方向。
“现在，这对所有人来说都是一场鲜明的选择型选举，”约翰逊在亚利桑那州的一场竞选活动中表示。“他们必须做出抉择：是继续秉持常识、增长与机遇，还是走上这条黑暗、危险且致命的共产主义道路。”

他表示，这是“在常识与疯狂之间做出的选择”。
约翰逊与众议院其他共和党领导人正穿梭全国，走访处境脆弱的共和党议员所在选区以及共和党认为有望在11月选举中拿下的地区。
本周早些时候，这位路易斯安那州共和党人在田纳西州共和党众议员安迪·奥格尔斯的市政厅活动中发表了类似言论。奥格尔斯将于周四晚间面临一位人脉广、资金雄厚的初选对手。
“哪怕在10年前，有人告诉我们，在这个世界历史上最伟大国家的250周年华诞之际，在2026年秋季的中期选举中，我们将面临一场抉择：是维护我们的宪政共和国——这个历史上最伟大的国家——还是走上这条黑暗、危险且致命的共产主义道路，我们能想象吗？”约翰逊说道。

这番言论很可能会成为议长在中期选举前的多次亮相中经常使用的话术，而共和党整体上都将极左翼候选人击败建制派民主党人视为利好消息。
本周早些时候，左翼社会主义 insurgency 取得了重大胜利：阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德博士击败了建制派支持的密歇根州民主党众议员黑利·史蒂文斯，拿下密歇根州开放参议院席位的民主党提名。
在该州其他选区，“日出运动”联合创始人威廉·劳伦斯击败前美国驻乌克兰大使布里奇特·布林克，赢得民主党提名，将在11月与密歇根州共和党众议员汤姆·巴雷特展开对决，这将是11月最受关注的摇摆选区竞选之一。

美国民主社会主义者的政策主张包括呼吁废除美国参议院，在全国范围内为非公民和重刑犯扩大投票权。
共和党正面临一场艰难的战斗，要打破数十年来的政治惯例，保住甚至扩大他们在众议院微弱的多数席位，但共和党领导人押注极左翼候选人会取得更多胜利，以此为己方创造更好的获胜机会。

Socialist victories show Dems’ descent down ‘deadly path of communism,’ Johnson warns

Republicans are hoping for more far-left socialist victories in Democratic primaries as they fight to keep the House

Rising socialist momentum in the Democratic primaries threatens party unity as far-left candidate Abdul El-Sayed narrowly wins 48.5% of the vote to defeat moderate Haley Stevens in Michigan.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is arguing that Democrats are descending a dark path as a socialist insurgency on the left continues to notch victories against the party’s establishment.
Republicans on the campaign trail have seized on the raging civil war within the Democratic Party, warning that a recent slate of wins by candidates linked to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is pushing one of the United States’ two main political parties much further left than the vast majority of Americans are comfortable with.
“Right now, it’s a contrast election for everybody,” Johnson said during a campaign stop in Arizona. “They’ve got to make a decision that they want to continue with common sense, growth and opportunity, or they want to go to this dark down, dangerous, deadly road of communism.”

He said it was a choice “between common sense and crazy.”
Johnson and other House GOP leaders are crisscrossing the country visiting districts represented by vulnerable Republican lawmakers and other areas where the GOP believes it has a shot of winning in November.
The Louisiana Republican made a similar pitch earlier this week during a town hall for Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., who is facing a well-connected and well-funded primary opponent on Thursday night.
“Could we’ve imagined even 10 years ago, if somebody told us that on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the greatest nation in the history of the world, in the midterm, in the fall of 2026, we’d be in a contest to determine whether we’re going to maintain our constitutional republic — the greatest nation in history — or go down this dark, dangerous, deadly road to communism?” Johnson said.

2026 MIDTERMS STATE OF PLAY: KEY RACES UNFOLD AS STEVENS, EL-SAYED BATTLE IN MICHIGAN
It’s likely going to be a line the speaker often uses during his appearances ahead of the midterms, with Republicans writ large seeing a boon in the far-left candidates toppling establishment Democrats.
The left’s socialist insurgency scored significant wins earlier this week when Dr. Abdul El-Sayed beat out establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., for the Democratic nomination for Michigan’s open Senate seat.
Elsewhere in the state, Sunrise Movement co-founder William Lawrence defeated former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink for the Democratic nomination to face Rep. Tom Barrett, R-Mich., in what will be one of the most closely watched battleground races of November.

Among the DSA’s policy positions is a call for eliminating the U.S. Senate and extending voting rights to noncitizens and felons on a national level.
Republicans are fighting an uphill battle to defy decades of political convention to keep and even expand their razor-thin majority in the House, but GOP leaders are betting on more far-left victories to give their party a better shot.
