Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., is warning that the ‘radical leftist’ surge in the Democratic Party will define the party’s 2028 primary. Schmitt pointed to the recent primary victories of progressive candidates in New York City, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s chosen candidates made a clean sweep in June.
Immigration Policy
Schmitt contended that the Democrats’ position on immigration is defining their policies and candidates moving forward. He noted that Senate Democrats are bucking an old policy that was once championed by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., which would have changed birthright citizenship.
Schmitt also warned that the ‘radical leftist’ ideology will dominate the Democrats’ 2028 presidential primary, with candidates like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., potentially challenging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
