前拜登白宫助理、民主党策略师耶米西·埃格博勒在周三播出的《第五专栏》播客节目中预测，尽管社会主义运动近期在初选中取得胜利，但美国民主社会主义者（DSA）将在2028年总统大选前被边缘化。该节目由Kmele·福斯特和Michael·莫伊尼汉主持。
Former Biden White House aide and Democratic strategist Yemisi Egbewole predicted that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) would be sidelined ahead of the 2028 presidential election during a Wednesday episode of "The Fifth Column" podcast, hosted by Kmele Foster and Michael Moynihan, despite the socialist movement's recent primary victories.
当福斯特询问民主党是否正在向DSA的意识形态靠拢时，埃格博勒——作为中间派智库“第三路”（Third Way）的高级研究员——预测该运动将难以将其近期的成功转化为全国性影响力。
When asked by Foster whether the Democratic Party was moving toward the DSA's ideology, Egbewole, a senior fellow at the centrist Democratic think tank Third Way, predicted the movement would struggle to translate its recent successes into national influence.
“进入2028年，DSA……婴儿被放在角落里，”埃格博勒说。
"Going into 2028, the DSA... Baby gets put in a corner," Egbewole said.
卡维尔警告民主党可能需要阻止极左候选人加入党团，温和派团体持不同意见。埃格博勒承认，得到社会主义支持的候选人在最近的民主党初选中表现不错，但质疑这些胜利是否反映了全国选民对该运动的更广泛支持。
Egbewole acknowledged that socialist-backed candidates had performed well in recent Democratic primaries but questioned whether those victories reflected broader support for the movement among voters nationwide.
“任何参选代表美国的人都不会去寻找DSA成员，”埃格博勒补充道。
"Anybody running to represent America is not going to seek anybody who's a part of the DSA," Egbewole added.
共和党人否定了民主党可能在下届总统大选前与社会主义划清界限的说法。共和全国委员会全国新闻秘书娜塔莉·巴尔达萨雷在向福克斯新闻数字版发表的声明中批评了该党的意识形态方向。
Republicans rejected the suggestion that Democrats could distance themselves from socialism ahead of the next presidential election. RNC national press secretary Natalie Baldassarre criticized the party's ideological direction in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“民主党现在重塑其社会主义品牌已经太迟了，”她说。“他们已经张开双臂拥抱社会主义，而每一位2028年的民主党竞争者都是主张增税、开放边界的激进分子，他们将乐意迎合极左翼基础。”拉姆·伊曼纽尔警告‘伯尼兄弟’可能因让温和派背负社会主义议程而拖垮民主党。媒体监督组织NewsBusters的总编辑柯蒂斯·胡克也对埃格博勒的说法持怀疑态度。
"It's too late for Democrats to rewrite their socialist brand," she said. "They've embraced socialism with open arms, and every 2028 Democrat contender is a tax-hiking, open border radical who will eagerly bend over for the far-left base." Curtis Houck, managing editor of media watchdog NewsBusters, was also skeptical of Egbewole's claim. "The train seems to have left the station," he told Fox News Digital.
“列车似乎已经离开车站，”他对福克斯新闻数字版说。“自由派、精英主义的媒体对他们的基本盘选民感到恐惧。红绿联盟是一股巨浪，媒体显然不感兴趣去追究。他们要么淡化民主社会主义者的目标，要么忽视它们。两者似乎都不是获胜的策略。”埃格博勒的言论是在纽约市市长佐兰·曼达尼支持的候选人赢得一系列初选之后发表的。
"The liberal, elitist media are deathly terrified of their base voters. The red-green alliance is a tidal wave the press sure don't seem interested in litigating. They will either downplay the aims of DSA, or ignore them. Neither seems to be a winning strategy." Egbewole's comments followed a series of primary victories by candidates aligned with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
六月，三名曼达尼支持的候选人在纽约州的民主党国会初选中获胜，布拉德·兰德尔和达里亚莉萨·阿维拉·谢瓦利埃分别击败了众议员丹·戈德曼和阿德里亚诺·埃斯皮亚拉特，克莱尔·瓦尔德兹赢得了一个空缺席位的竞争。
In June, three Mamdani-backed candidates swept Democratic congressional primaries in New York, with Brad Lander and Darializa Avila Chevalier unseating Reps. Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat, respectively, and Claire Valdez winning an open-seat contest.
在播客节目中，埃格博勒淡化了这些胜利的意识形态意义，认为击败现任民主党人并不一定意味着击败温和派。
During the podcast appearance, Egbewole downplayed the ideological significance of those victories, arguing that defeating established Democrats did not necessarily amount to defeating moderates. "I'm okay with admitting they did well," she said.
拉姆·伊曼纽尔挑战民主社会主义者对民主党的影响，警告称共和党“派系”正在消失。”我承认他们表现不错，”她说。“他们赢得了选举。他们实际上并没有击败温和派……丹·戈德曼不是温和派。”埃格博勒自己的组织第三条道路致力于限制社会主义影响力在民主党内部。这个中间派组织已经启动了一项耗资1500万美元的运动，针对民主社会主义者直至2028年，包括反对研究、民意调查和向民主党领导人的宣传。
"They won their races. They didn't really defeat moderates . . . Dan Goldman wasn't a moderate." Egbewole's own organization, Third Way, works to limit socialist influence within the Democratic Party. The centrist organization had launched a $15 million campaign targeting the DSA through 2028, including opposition research, polling and outreach to Democratic leaders.
第三条道路的联合创始人马特·贝内特此前曾解释过该组织为何认为社会主义运动对该党的选举前景构成威胁。
Third Way co-founder Matt Bennett previously explained why the organization considered the socialist movement a threat to the party's electoral prospects.
“我们认为DSA对民主党构成严重威胁，”第三条道路联合创始人马特·贝内特在向福克斯新闻数字版发表的声明中说。“他们的想法很危险，他们的政治很有毒。如果我们要击败MAGA共和党人，我们就不能让我们的党被激进分子所定义。”这场意识形态之战也延伸到了密歇根州，进步派人士阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛耶德在八月的民主党初选中击败了温和派众议员海莉·斯蒂文斯。
"We believe the DSA poses a serious threat to Democrats," Third Way co-founder Matt Bennett said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Their ideas are dangerous, and their politics are toxic. If we are to beat MAGA Republicans, we cannot allow our party to be defined by radicals." The ideological battle also extended into Michigan, where progressive Abdul El-Sayed defeated moderate Rep. Haley Stevens in August's Democratic primary.
埃格博勒表示，即使DSA相关候选人获胜，也不一定能确立该运动更广泛的选举实力。“我说如果低于五个百分点，那就不算数，”埃格博勒说。
Egbewole suggested that even a victory by a DSA-adjacent candidate would not necessarily establish the movement's broader electoral strength. "I say if it's anything less than like five points, then it doesn't count," Egbewole said.
这种分歧也蔓延到了正在考虑自己政治前途的知名民主党人。加州州长加文·纽森，一位潜在的2028年总统竞选者，在九月表示，民主党在几个政策优先事项上“基本上与DSA保持一致”，包括全民医疗和气候变化。
The divide has also reached prominent Democrats considering their political futures. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential contender, said in September that Democrats were "pretty aligned" with the DSA on several policy priorities, including universal healthcare and climate change.
与此同时，曼丹尼面临来自社会主义盟友的压力，因为他的治理决策。市长周四表示，尽管纽约市民主社会主义者分会在布朗克斯发生的一起涉及ICE的枪击事件后呼吁撤换纽约市警察局局长杰西卡·蒂施，但他没有解雇她的计划。
Meanwhile, Mamdani faced pressure from socialist allies over his governing decisions. The mayor said Thursday he had no plans to fire NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch despite calls from the Democratic Socialists of America's New York City chapter for her removal following an ICE-involved shooting in the Bronx.
DSA此前曾在第三条道路宣布对该组织发动运动后，为其日益增长的政治影响力进行辩护。DSA联合主席梅根·罗默在向福克斯新闻数字版发表的八月声明中说，该团体打算在反对声音中继续组织。
The DSA previously defended its growing political influence after Third Way announced its campaign against the organization. DSA co-chair Megan Romer said in an August statement to Fox News Digital that the group intended to continue organizing despite the opposition.
“我们相信人民的力量，我们对更美好未来的愿景正在获胜。我们将继续建设我们的运动，而他们将浪费他们的钱，”罗默说。
"We believe in people power, and our vision for a better future is winning. We will keep building our movement, and they will waste their money," Romer said.
