The DNC plot to marginalize DSA for 2028; Gav and Gretch laugh off lockdowns | Monday Rundown

The DNC just locked in its 2028 primary calendar — and it's built to check the party's growing socialist wing before it can gain real power. Today on Monday Rundown: why South Carolina leads off the calendar again, how Democrats are on defense over the DSA's agenda while quietly cozying up to parts of it (court packing, anyone?), and why Ro Khanna spent his weekend getting torched online over his "economic patriotism" wealth tax proposal. Also: a fundraising email from Kamala Harris' PAC leaves Alaska Senate candidate Mary Peltola in an awkward spot, with her campaign trying to distance itself from a request her own team reportedly made. And as Anthony Fauci keeps making headlines, we look at the equally responsible — and less scrutinized — legacy of Randi Weingarten's pandemic-era school closures. Plus, Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer laugh off the lockdown era like it never happened.
