Former Trump White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said recent Democratic primary results do not signal a broader political shift in the United States. Conway argued that the victories of progressive and socialist candidates reflect the politics of only a handful of districts, not the country at large.
Primary Results and American Values
Conway told Fox News Digital that candidates she characterized as ‘anti-America’ may find success in ‘very curated, specific districts’ but are unlikely to win over the country on a larger scale. The comments came after a slate of progressive and socialist candidates scored high-profile victories in recent Democratic primaries.
Conway also cited a recent poll on patriotism, saying she was ‘very disturbed’ by the results, which found 90% of Republicans say they are extremely or very proud to be American, compared to only 29% of Democrats. Conway believes this reinforces her view that the Democratic Party’s activist wing is increasingly out of step with most Americans, with patriotism remaining a defining issue for many voters heading into the midterm elections.
