New Yorkers on the street were asked about radical Muslim socialist
Zohran Mamdani's recent victory in the state's Democratic primary
race and his agenda. The answers they gave should scare the hell
out of all Democrats.
Speaking on Wednesday to Fox News' "The Faulkner Focus," ordinary
people in the city were interviewed about Mamdani, and it was clear
that not one of them plans to vote for the candidate when he faces
off in November against former Democratic New York Governor Andrew
Cuomo and incumbent NY Mayor Eric Adams.
"I just think Mamdani would be terrible for the city," one man
said. "It would implode the city."

Another man replied, "I don't support him. I think he's too
radical."
One man said he was "not a fan. Government-run grocery stores,
that's ridiculous. That's what they do in communist countries. I'm
hoping for a miracle, someone else, Eric Adams, or someone wins."
Another added simply, "He's an idiot."
While a fifth person responded, "That's not what we want for New
York, do we?"
One lady had quite possibly the smartest response when she took
Mamdani down for his communist agenda.
"He thinks he's gonna give everything free," she said. "Where's the
money gonna come from?

Keeps Their Distance
I am unsure what the likelihood is that the Fox News crew only
spoke to people who were against Mamdani, but their answers should
provide some kind of warning to Democrats that not everyone in
their party supports the radical agenda coming from the likes of
Mamdani, NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and more.
My colleague Becky Noble reported on how AOC has embraced Mamdani
despite his obvious communist agenda, even parading him on
Wednesday around Washington, D.C.
AOC said that she is eager for her colleagues to meet Mamdani "face
to face," and "hear what he has to say about making New York
affordable for working people."
As much as AOC has accepted him, there are moderates still in the
party who are staying as far away from him as possible during his
little field trip to the nation's capital.
However, leaders of the party, such as Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer (NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY),
recognize that Mamdani's candidacy is a problem that gets even
bigger if he wins. Neither has endorsed Mamdani, but both claim
meetings are scheduled. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) is one of the few
New York City-area Democrats who has been a vocal critic of Mamdani.
Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville has also tried to sound
the alarm to the Democratic party, labeling Mamdani's primary
victory a "potentially damaging event," RedState reported.
Zohran Mamdani is an avowed Democratic Socialist and has a real
chance to become the next mayor of New York City.
