Former Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman and possible 2028 presidential hopeful Rahm Emanuel bashed the socialist wing of the Democratic Party, arguing that it didn’t appeal to working-class voters.

The socialist wing of the Democratic Party was humbled on Tuesday after Democratic Socialists of America member Francesca Hong lost in a surprise upset to the establishment-backed David Crowley in the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary. Emanuel took the opportunity to lay into the group, casting it as out of touch with the people it was trying to appeal to.
