Candidate who wants to abolish the Senate, arrest Netanyahu offers DSA shot at swing-seat breakthrough
Florida Democratic Socialists of America-backed congressional candidate Oliver Larkin has said he supports abolishing the US Senate and believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested if he visits the United States. The Fox News article presents his campaign as a potential test of whether the Democratic Socialists of America can make gains in a competitive south-eastern Florida congressional district.
Larkin is challenging Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz in Florida’s primary next month and is one of four congressional candidates endorsed by the DSA, according to the article. He also described Israel’s governing coalition as a “religious supremacist regime”, reflecting positions likely to make his campaign contentious within a swing-seat contest.
