How did socialists perform in the 2024 election?
By Chris Talgo
Since 2018, the Heartland Institute has monitored the success of socialist candidates in midterm and general elections. This year, socialists again won a variety of political offices at the national, statewide, and local levels, reinforcing the fact that socialists have indeed gained a toehold throughout the United States.
In 2024, as detailed in the Heartland Institute’s latest edition of Socialist Watch, socialist candidates won 94 percent of the races they participated in. Moreover, most of these races were won easily, with socialists beating their opponents by an average margin of 49 percentage points.
The winning percentage and average margin of victory for socialists in 2024 parallels the rate at which socialist candidates won in 2022 and 2020, however, it appears that the total number of socialists running in 2024 may have been far fewer than in years past.
