As Democratic 2020 contenders are increasingly embracing some of the most socialist ideas in modern U.S. history, one House Democrat is breaking from the party line and rejecting the policies her colleagues have been pushing in recent years.

Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.) described herself as a “proud capitalist” at a BakerHostetler conference on April 2 in Washington. Her remarks to the 150 attending the event comes after President Donald Trump launched his own campaign against socialism. Her spokesman said she was unavailable for an interview.
