- Four of the 20 largest US cities now have socialist mayors.
- Their metro areas are home to about 44 million people.

## Summary

Nithya Raman and Janeese Lewis George were elected mayors of Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., joining the Democratic Socialists of America-affiliated mayors of Seattle and New York. Their election means four of the 20 largest US cities will have socialist mayors, putting their policies in focus because their effects may extend beyond city boundaries.

The four cities have about 14 million residents in total, while their wider metropolitan areas contain roughly 44 million people. Seven DSA-backed or affiliated candidates also won House seats, according to the article. Polls cited in the report show views of socialism differ: a Fox News poll found 32% of voters viewed it favourably and 64% unfavourably, while Gallup recorded 43% with a positive image.
