War erupts on far left as DSA endorses challenger against sitting House progressive

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is aiming to unseat another House Democrat as the divide between the establishment and the far-left continues to fuel chaos within the party.

The national DSA confirmed to Fox News Digital on Monday that it was endorsing Donavan McKinney, a Michigan state lawmaker, over Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich.

Thanedar made headlines for his own push to impeach President Donald Trump and similar threats to several Cabinet officials, including Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. He's also pushed legislation to pave the way for a national reparations system to give payments to Black Americans.

But he's still fielding attacks from fellow members of the far left, with several self-proclaimed democratic socialists also endorsing McKinney.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and DSA member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., are among the sitting members of Congress backing McKinney over Thanedar.

Thanedar, who is running for a third term representing his deep-blue Detroit-area district, renounced his own DSA membership in October 2023 over fellow socialists' stances on the Oct. 7 attack in Israel.

"After the brutal terrorist attacks on Israel, which included the indiscriminate murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocent men, women, and children, I can no longer associate with an organization unwilling to call out terrorism in all its forms," Thanedar said in the days following the terror attack.

McKinney was already endorsed by the Detroit-area DSA. His endorsement by the national party was first reported by Politico.

Several sitting House Democrats have already fallen victim to the far-left wave sweeping the country, particularly in the party's strongholds.

Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., and Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairman Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., lost their respective primary races to challengers from the left flank.

DSA-backed Melat Kiros unseated longtime Denver-area Rep. Diane DeGette, D-Colo., a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Republicans have seized on their victories as evidence that Democrats are shifting further left and away from where most Americans are politically.

It's prompted more moderate Democrats to sound the alarm ahead of November's midterms.

Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, one of the most vulnerable Democrats of this election cycle, told Fox News' "Saturday in America," "As a Democrat, I reject what the DSA is doing. I read their platform, and it is radical."

Fox News Digital reached out to Thanedar's campaign for comment but did not immediately hear back.
