O movimento de esquerda conquistou apoio por suas posições sobre questões como a guerra em Gaza e a saúde universal.

The political group saw a surge in membership in 2016, when Vermont’s US Senator Bernie Sanders, a prominent DSA member, ran unsuccessfully for president, bringing the movement’s views on issues like universal healthcare and housing to a broader audience.

A eleição de Zohran Mamdani como prefeito de Nova York em 2025 trouxe mais atenção e mais membros para a DSA.

Today the movement says it has more than 120,000 members, with chapters across all 50 states. Members vote to decide which candidates to back in elections, in federal contests like those for the US Congress, as well as state and local bodies.

Muitos dos candidatos que a DSA apoia compartilham opiniões sobre questões centrais, incluindo a guerra em Gaza, saúde e imigração.

So where did DSA-affiliated candidates win federal offices on November 3.

In New York State, three candidates who were either officially endorsed by the chapter or were closely affiliated with the DSA were elected to office on Tuesday: Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Brad Lander were elected to the US House of Representatives for the first time, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was re-elected to her seat.

Chevalier, que trabalhou na campanha de prefeito de Mamdani, ajudou a organizar protestos pró-Palestina e tem sido vocal em sua oposição à guerra de Israel em Gaza.

In Michigan, DSA member Rashida Tlaib was re-elected to her seat in the US House, member Donavan McKinney was elected to the body for the first time, and William Lawrence defeated a Republican candidate for a highly competitive US House seat.

Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old immigrant from Ethiopia who has also been outspoken on her views on issues like opposing Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and abolishing US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), was elected to office with a wide margin to represent Colorado in the House.

Em Filadélfia, Pensilvânia, eleitores escolheram Chris Rabb, ex-legislador estadual, para a Câmara dos Representantes dos EUA pela primeira vez.

On the West Coast in Los Angeles, California, Angela Gonzales-Torres defeated a Democratic incumbent for a seat in the US House.

Adam Hamawy, ex-médico do Exército dos EUA que trabalhou como cirurgião em Gaza, venceu um distrito em New Jersey. Embora não seja membro da DSA, alinhou-se ao movimento e campanhou ao lado de candidatos apoiados pela DSA.
