What I can say, though, about Democrats, and as someone who\u00a0is working to win the majority, what I can say is that politics are local.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She described how Democratic candidates will run differently depending on where they&#8217;re running, adding how Alaska Senate candidate Mary Peltola is campaigning on &#8220;fish, family and freedom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fish might not work in New York, or it might not work in North Carolina, but that works there. And so for us, the most important thing is that we hear\u00a0the people. We want to be known that we\u2019re listening to them and that we\u2019re fighting for them. And again, it might look different in different places across the country, but we do\u00a0believe that people are concerned about this economy and the cost of things. And so we\u2019re going to continue to fight for them. So to me, it\u2019s a win-win,&#8221; Blunt Rochester said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/opinion\/democrats-new-wave-socialists-winning-primaries-face-harsh-reality-general-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>DEMOCRATS&#8217; NEW-WAVE SOCIALISTS ARE WINNING PRIMARIES BUT FACE A HARSH REALITY IN GENERAL ELECTIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where has socialism ever worked, senator?&#8221; CNBC host Joe Kernen asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is that another question or is that for the next interview?&#8221; Blunt Rochester responded.<\/p>\n<p>Kernen repeated his question, to which Blunt Rochester replied, &#8220;Well, when you have me come back on we can talk about all the races across the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/politics\/rising-socialist-stars-track-congress-darializa-avila-chevalier-brad-lander-claire-valdez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>RISING SOCIALIST STARS ON TRACK TO CONGRESS: WHO ARE DARIALIZA AVILA CHEVALIER, BRAD LANDER AND CLAIRE VALDEZ?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kernen then acknowledged that the remark was a &#8220;rhetorical question that I was answering myself&#8221; and thanked her for her time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to Blunt Rochester&#8217;s office for comment.<\/p>\n<p>New York candidates Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/winners-losers-emerge-after-socialist-earthquake-rocks-nyc-primaries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">each campaigned<\/a> on a socialist economic agenda, anti-Israel posture and opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
