Oliver Larkin, a far-left Democratic congressional candidate from Florida, has expressed his support for abolishing the U.S. Senate. Larkin, who is challenging Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz in the primary, also agrees with socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested during his upcoming trip to the U.S.
Larkin’s Platform
Larkin, a 33-year-old veteran of progressive champion Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 Democratic presidential campaign, is one of just four congressional candidates endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). He supports a “one-state solution with equal and democratic rights for all people” and does not support a “religious supremacist regime” in Israel or any other country.
Larkin also criticized Moskowitz for voting in favor of the Laken Riley Act and for supporting President Donald Trump’s DOGE initiative. He slammed “milquetoast neoliberal corporate Democrats like Jared Moskowitz” that he claimed failed to push through policies that Democrats voted for when they elected former President Joe Biden to the White House and boosted the party to control of Congress in 2020.
DSA’s Policy Proposals
The DSA released new policy proposals that include scrapping the Senate and expanding the House of Representatives, which would upend the American system of government in place since 1789. Larkin said he agrees with top DSA officials who call the Senate an “undemocratic institution.” He argued that the Senate “privileges land over people, and it originates from a compromise with slave-owning states when the Constitution was first passed.”
