Summary
Fox News Digital interviews at Friday’s March on Washington found some attendees backing a rewritten Constitution, abolition or reconstruction of the Senate, and broader “systemic reform.”
At the Lincoln Memorial rally marking the 63rd anniversary of the 1963 march, attendees including a Washington resident and a Maryland activist said existing U.S. institutions and amendments should be overhauled or abolished.
The event itself centered on voting-rights and civil-rights protections, with speakers including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Hakeem Jeffries, Bernie Sanders and Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger.
Some marchers also endorsed Democratic Socialists of America priorities and said they wanted more candidates in the mold of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, citing universal health care, unions and reducing money in politics.
That sentiment comes as DSA-backed candidates score primary wins in states including Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan ahead of the midterms.
