Green Left Show #92: DSA's Ella Teevan — 'Socialism has broken containment in the US'

Building on the momentum won after Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory in the New York City mayoral race last year, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have won several primaries, defeating establishment Democrats in the lead-up to the United States midterm elections in November.

Isaac Nellist was joined by Ella Teevan, a member of DSA’s National Political Committee, its highest leadership body, to discuss the midterms, how DSA can build on its successes, and challenging US imperialism and President Donald Trump’s far-right agenda.

Teevan is a featured speaker at the upcoming Ecosocialism 2026 conference, get your tickets at ecosocialism.org.au.
