The presidential campaigns of Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders significantly boosted the membership of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). DSA members increased from 6,500 in 2014 to nearly 8,500 by Election Day of 2016, and the DSA became even larger as a result of Sandersās second presidential campaign, in 2020. Although the 2020 election cycle ended without a Sanders victory, two additional DSA members were elected as Democrats to the U.S. House of Representatives.
