当地周二,极左翼势力在争夺民主党意识形态主导权的斗争中遭遇重大挫折,败于中左翼建制派之手。
据美联社报道,得到民主社会主义者组织支持的奥利弗·拉金在佛罗里达州第25选区民主党初选中被更为温和的众议员贾里德·莫斯科维茨击败。
经过大幅重新划分的国会摇摆选区是大约24个众议院席位之一,这些席位或将决定共和党能否在中期选举中保住其微弱多数优势。

现年33岁的拉金曾为参议员伯尼·桑德斯2016年民主党总统竞选团队效力,是唯一一位得到民主社会主义者组织背书、在具有竞争力的国会摇摆选区参选的众议院候选人。
拉金曾表示支持废除美国参议院,他在接受福克斯新闻采访时称参议院是一个“不民主的机构”。他还将以色列执政联盟称为“宗教至上主义政权”。
莫斯科维茨是以色列的坚定且公开的支持者,曾呼吁美国提供强有力的军事和安全援助。

这位已任职两届的联邦议员曾担任州众议员,还曾被共和党州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯任命为佛罗里达州联邦紧急事务管理局局长。他正在该州新划分的第25国会选区寻求连任,该选区以布劳沃德县为核心,位于这个曾经的战场州东南部,如今整体偏向共和党。
莫斯科维茨得到了民主党国会竞选委员会以及主要亲以色列政治团体美国以色列公共事务委员会(AIPAC)的间接支持。拉金则得到了包括颇具争议的政治主播哈桑·皮克在内的知名极左翼人物的支持。
“民主社会主义可以在全美任何选区、任何竞选、任何公职中获胜,”拉金上周末告诉福克斯新闻。他还补充说,自己“非常自豪”能够“作为民主社会主义者候选人继续前行”。

但拉金最终未能成功,莫斯科维茨将在大选中对阵共和党初选的获胜者,共和党初选候选人包括丹·弗朗泽塞、雷文·哈里森、乔·考夫曼、前州众议员乔治·莫拉蒂斯以及前博卡拉顿市长斯科特·辛格。
拉金的失败是极左翼势力在本周民主党初选中遭遇的第二次挫折。
在上周威斯康星州民主党州长竞选对决中,得到民主社会主义者组织支持的弗朗西斯卡·洪以微弱劣势被密尔沃基县行政长官戴维·克劳利击败,克劳利得到了即将退休的民主党州长托尼·埃弗斯的支持。
但就在同一天,明尼苏达州副州长佩吉·弗拉纳根以约20个百分点的优势击败温和派民主党众议员安吉·克雷格,拿下了该州民主党提名,该州虽倾向民主党但仍具竞争性,此次选举旨在接替即将退休的民主党参议员蒂娜·史密斯。

两周前,进步派取得了迄今为止最大的胜利,阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德以微弱优势击败温和派众议员黑利·史蒂文斯,拿下密歇根州民主党参议院提名,该州是战场州,此次选举旨在接替即将退休的民主党参议员加里·彼得斯。

埃尔-赛义德和弗拉纳根都得到了包括佛蒙特州进步派领军人物桑德斯在内的顶级极左翼领导人的支持。

Pro-Israel moderate survives primary challenge by socialist insurgent

The DSA-backed candidate Oliver Larkin lost in the redrawn 25th District swing seat that could determine House control

Oliver Larkin, a Florida DSA-aligned U.S. Congress candidate, is interviewed on ‘The Big Weekend Show’ about his policy proposals and elite schooling background.

The far left on Tuesday suffered a high-profile setback at the hands of the center-left establishment in the battle for the Democratic Party’s ideological future.

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-backed Oliver Larkin was downed by more moderate Rep. Jared Moskowitz in the Democrats’ primary in Florida’s 25th District, the Associated Press reported.

The heavily redrawn congressional swing district is among roughly two dozen House seats that will likely determine whether Republicans hold onto their razor-thin majority in the midterm elections.

The 33-year-old Larkin, a veteran of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 Democratic presidential campaign, was the only DSA-endorsed House candidate running in a competitive congressional swing district.

Larkin said he supported abolishing the U.S. Senate, arguing in a Fox News interview that it’s an “undemocratic institution.” He has referred to Israel’s ruling coalition as a “religious supremacist regime.”

Moskowitz is a strong and vocal supporter of Israel and has advocated for robust U.S. military and security assistance.

The two-term federal lawmaker, a former state representative and Florida FEMA director appointed by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, is running for re-election in the state’s newly redrawn 25th Congressional District, a Broward County-anchored swing seat in the southeastern corner of the one-time battleground state that now leans red.

Moskowitz was backed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee as well as indirectly by AIPAC, a major pro-Israel political group. Larkin had backing from prominent far-left figures, including controversial political streamer Hasan Piker.

“Democratic socialism can win in any district, in any race, for any office all across the country,” Larkin told Fox News this past weekend. He added that was “very proud” to be carrying the “torch forward as a DSA candidate.”

But Larkin fell short, and Moskowitz will now face off in the general election against the winner of a Republican primary field that included Dan Franzese, Raven Harrison, Joe Kaufman, former state Rep. George Moraitis, and former Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer.

Larkin’s defeat was the second setback for the far left in a week, in this year’s Democratic Party primaries.

In last week’s Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial showdown, DSA-member Francesca Hong was upset by a razor-thin margin by Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who was backed by retiring Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.

But the same day, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan downed moderate Democratic Rep. Angie Craig by roughly 20 points, to grab the party’s nomination in blue-leaning but competitive state, in the race to succeed another retiring Democrat, Sen. Tina Smith.

Progressives scored their biggest victory to date two weeks ago, when Abdul El-Sayed narrowly edged moderate Rep. Haley Stevens to capture the party’s Senate nomination in battleground Michigan, in the race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.

Both El-Sayed and Flanagan were backed by top far-left leaders, including Sanders, the progressive champion from Vermont.
