Why Democrat socialists are such a threat to Trump and the GOP

From late-night Truth Social posts and all-caps rants to rally speeches packed with humour, anger and spectacle, Donald Trump has built a style that has dominated the American, and perhaps world, political landscape for the past decade. 

But is he a one-off, or has he changed politics forever? And, with the rise of left wing populists like Zohran Mamdani, do the Democrats think they have found an answer to Trump’s dominance? 

On this episode of TrumpWorld, Matt Frei is joined by Daniel Kreiss, professor of political communication at the University of North Carolina as well as the Democratic strategist Ameshia Cross, who worked in President Obama’s communications team.
