- El-Sayed, supported by progressive figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, advocates for Medicare for All and campaign finance reform, though he identifies as a capitalist and distances himself from the Democratic Socialists of America.
- Trump vowed to prevent the U.S. from becoming a communist country, framing the 2024 election as a battle against the Democratic Party's leftward shift.
