Democratic Socialists Target the U.S. Constitution

Today's Issues examines comments from Democratic Socialists of America leadership about the U.S. Constitution and the group's broader political goals. The conversation looks at proposals attributed to the DSA, including abolishing the presidency and Electoral College, lowering the voting age, and changing private property protections, as socialist candidates gain attention in Democratic politics. The discussion also turns to former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran's comments about liberal bias and a lack of viewpoint diversity inside mainstream media. The hosts consider the rise of Fox News as an alternative for conservative viewers and the loss of trust in traditional news outlets. They also revisit the story of 16-year-old lifeguard Ryder Williams, who was honored by President Trump after rescuing a 10-year-old boy in California, before wrapping up with the preseason AP college football rankings.
