The article’s content is unavailable because access to the page was denied, so its claims cannot be independently summarised. From the headline, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appears to argue that democratic socialist candidates have become central to the Democratic Party, framing this as a significant ideological shift.

No supporting quotations, examples, dates, polling figures or wider context were provided in the accessible text. The headline alone does not establish the evidence for Bessent’s assessment or how Democratic Party figures responded.
