Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY), a Long Island centrist, is running advertisements standing against extremism “on both sides” as the Democratic Party reckons with socialist candidates running in the party in 2026.
Suozzi touted the ad on X on Thursday morning, sharing it while socialist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, one of the faces of the leftist wing of the party, was making headlines for saying that the United States is “pound for pound” worse than al Qaeda. The two advertisements portray Suozzi as a practical, bipartisan lawmaker, with him voicing over the video saying, “I don’t work for parties. I work for you.”
