Summary
Four U.S. left-wing candidates were treated as star guests at the Panamerican Congress in Montevideo, receiving a standing ovation and repeated praise as a model for the broader left.
Those highlighted were Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez of New York, Chris Rabb of Pennsylvania and Dr. Adam Hamawy of New Jersey, all coming off primary victories or rising campaigns.
Leaders from across the Americas gathered in Uruguay to regroup after a string of election defeats and to map out how to counter what they called growing aggression from the Trump administration.
The warm reception for the U.S. democratic socialists underscored how some Latin American and hemispheric leftists now see local U.S. victories as a possible blueprint for rebuilding momentum.
