Trump's 'America First' Message Just Got Stolen By a Socialist

A California state senator just won a competitive special election running on a message that sounds a lot like "America First" β€” focus on people at home, stay out of foreign wars, don't send money abroad. She's not a Republican. She's a Democratic Socialist.

We break down why Aisha Wahab's winning message borrows directly from Trump's own 2016 playbook, why a new UC Berkeley poll shows California Democrats increasingly prefer the "progressive" and "Democratic Socialist" label over "mainstream Democrat," and why this administration's own struggles delivering on America First may be exactly what's opening the door for the left's version of it.
