Concha pointed out that some DSA candidates advocate for abolishing institutions such as the Senate, the presidency, ICE, and border security, aiming to reshape the nation substantially. He also noted that socialists are increasingly influencing the Democratic Party\u2019s direction, even as mainstream Democrats try to distance themselves from these progressive ideals. Concha expressed skepticism about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-warning-charlie-kirk-gave-back-in-2020-coming-true-now-within-democratic-party\/\" title=\"A Warning Charlie Kirk Gave Back in 2020 Coming True Now Within Democratic ...\">socialist-backed candidates<\/a> like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez having broad electoral appeal, questioning whether she could win in a general election if she were the nominee, especially given their positions on abolishing key institutions. He emphasized that establishment Democrats are losing influence as socialist ideas become more dominant within the party.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Washington Examiner<\/em> columnist <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/joe-concha\/\">Joe Concha<\/a> warns that the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-socialists-of-america\/\">Democratic Socialists of America<\/a> want to make the United States unrecognizable as candidates aligned with the movement continue to gain traction. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we see here with DSA candidates is that they have to own what they have said,\u201d  Concha said on Fox News\u2019s <em>Fox and Friends First <\/em>on Wednesday. \u201cThey want to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dsausa.org\/about-us\/what-is-democratic-socialism\/\">abolish<\/a> the Senate, they want to abolish the presidency, they want to abolish ICE, they want to abolish all border security, and in the end want to change the country to the point where it is unrecognizable.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4667121\/socialists-united-states-unrecognizable-joe-concha\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Socialists want to make US unrecognizable: Joe Concha<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4667091\/fauci-pleads-fifth-amendment-covid-hearing-chaired-rand-paul\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Fauci pleads Fifth Amendment in COVID hearing chaired by Rand Paul<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4648448\/august-social-security-direct-payment-worth-994-goes-out-in-two-days\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>August Social Security direct payment worth $994 goes out in two days<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concha also noted that <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/socialism\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"510\">socialists<\/a> are increasingly setting the direction of the Democratic Party, even as establishment Democrats attempt to distance themselves from the movement\u2019s most progressive positions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<div style=\"display: inline-block;
