“Establish public ownership of the largest corporations and essential industries to ensure Democratic control and accountability to the people,” Johnson continued, adding, “Y’all, it goes on and on.”

While taking a triumphalist tone, the highlighted representatives may find it more difficult to win over the public on some of the proposals, particularly expanding the size of the House of Representatives and nationalizing major industries. The most recent major poll on expanding the House, from Pew Research in 2023, found that less than one in three U.S. adults were in favor of increasing the size of the body. Only 35% of Democrats or adults leaning Democratic were in favor of expanding it.
