DALLAS — A top Senate Republican warned that the real leaders of the Democratic Party aren’t the top two Democrats in Congress. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., weren’t the ones calling the shots for Democrats — it’s the far-left progressives, both inside and out of Congress, that are leading the way. "Let's be clear, the leader of the Democrat Party is not Schumer, it's not Jeffries," Scott said. "It's Hasan Piker, it is AOC and [Zohran] Mamdani."

That message is driven by the likes of streamer Hasan Piker, who has come under fire from both Republicans and Democrats, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. CAN THE 'BEST SHOWMAN IN POLITICS' DELIVER AGAIN? GOP BETS ON TRUMP AT HISTORIC MIDTERM CONVENTION "They're going to say, ‘Gosh, we want men to play in women's sports, to destroy women's sport,’" Scott said. "They can talk about socialism, how they want to kill all the capitalists." "I tell people, you go vote for a Democrat, which is now a socialist, right? Then you better buy a bunch of guns," he continued. "Because you can vote socialism in, ask the people in Venezuela, but guess what? You can't get rid of it without guns." Still, Republicans are facing political headwinds as November creeps closer, with the Iran war still raging, prices at the gas pump and checkout line still high, and a fresh trade war with Canada…
