Former Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Barney Frank, who served 32 years in the House and co-authored the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law, has warned Democrats they have moved too far left. He is currently in hospice care with congestive heart failure and stated that his record indicates his commitment to the left. Frank also mentioned trans athletes in women's sports as a crucial point for the party's consideration. He called for explicit repudiation of positions like defunding the police and open borders.
