Speaking to Fox News’ Shannon Bream<\/a>, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) national co-chair Megan Romer fired off a series of “yes” and “true” responses when asked whether the organization’s platform calls for dismantling major American institutions.<\/p>\n “[You’re advocating for] abolish[ing] the Senate?” Bream asked.<\/p>\n BILL MAHER ADMITS HE COULD VOTE FOR JD VANCE, WARNS ‘COWARDLY’ DEMOCRATS FACE SOCIALIST TAKEOVER<\/a><\/p>\n On Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, 2025, Democratic Socialists of America members marched in Washington, D.C., equating the incoming Trump administration to “fascism.” (Asra Q. Nomani\/Fox News Digital)<\/p>\n “True,” Romer responded.<\/p>\n Romer also affirmed the organization’s support for replacing the presidency and Supreme Court<\/a>, abolishing ICE, eventually eliminating national borders while granting amnesty to people living in the country illegally, defunding the Pentagon, phasing out prisons and shifting most large corporations to public ownership.<\/p>\n She said some proposals, including abolishing borders and prisons, are part of the organization’s long-term vision.<\/p>\n DEM REP HENRY CUELLAR REJECTS DSA AGENDA, SAYS SOCIALISTS ARE TRYING TO ‘USE’ DEMOCRATIC PARTY<\/a><\/p>\n A sculpture of President George Washington in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol on April 8 in Washington, D.C.

(Al Drago\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n Explaining the push to eliminate the Senate, Romer called the chamber “an anachronistic institution” that was designed to limit the influence of ordinary Americans.<\/p>\n “It comes from the British House of Lords,” she said.<\/p>\n “The Senate was part of the system that was made to make sure that the people didn’t have too much of a say. So we want to expand Congress<\/a> significantly, but make it a unicameral legislature,” Romer said.<\/p>\n Romer also defended the DSA’s decision to field candidates on the Democratic ballot line<\/a> despite criticism from party leaders who argue the organization should build its own political party.<\/p>\n “The two parties have, over years and decades, created a system where ballot line access is extremely difficult for third parties,” Romer said.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP<\/a><\/p>\n “We run on the Democratic ballot line where it makes sense. We run independents<\/a> sometimes where that is a viable possibility, but it’s a ballot line. What matters is what the voters think, and the voters are overwhelmingly choosing our candidates,” she said.<\/p>\n![\"In](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3.png\")
