What happened

Vice President JD Vance warned Republicans this week not to ignore voters who sympathize with socialism as more Democratic candidates embrace democratic socialist policies.

Why it matters

Vance’s comments came after a CNN poll found that one-third of Democratic voters identify as democratic socialists.

Common ground

The poll also found younger voters were more likely to support progressive policies.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
