In a surprising turn of events, Democratic socialists are gaining significant traction in primary elections across the United States. From the streets of New York to the mountains of Colorado, a new wave of progressive candidates is making waves in the Democratic party.

As voters increasingly turn to the left, the question on everyone's mind is: can these democratic socialists ride this momentum all the way to the White House?
