Republicans, led by Donald Trump, are increasingly using the term "communism" to attack Democratic candidates, particularly those associated with democratic socialism.

Democrats themselves are divided on how to respond, with some fearing the party is being "hijacked by socialists" while others see these progressive wins as aberrations. AI
