Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani visited Washington D.C. to rally support for his New York City mayoral campaign. He met with Congress members including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who hosted a breakfast meeting for lawmakers to meet him. This trip comes as polls show a tightening race against opponents like Andrew Cuomo.
Mamdani pushed his radical agenda behind closed doors with socialist allies. He’s backed by far-left figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC, who already endorsed him. These meetings reveal how extreme Democrats are trying to prop up their dangerous candidate.
Some Democrats praised Mamdani at the event. AOC told lawmakers to “get to know him” and make their own assessment. Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez called him “authentic.” But this just shows how out of touch they are with regular New Yorkers.
Mamdani admitted Bernie Sanders “inspired” his socialist views. He called himself a “Democratic socialist” during the meetings. This proves he wants to bring radical politics to America’s largest city.
Business leaders rightly fear Mamdani’s anti-corporate policies. They know his socialist approach would crush jobs and growth. New York can’t afford this radical experiment that failed everywhere it’s been tried.
Andrew Cuomo called Mamdani “dangerous” for our city. He warned that being “anti-business” means New York has “no future.” Cuomo understands the real threat this socialist poses to everyday working families.
Key Democrats haven’t endorsed Mamdani yet. Senators Schumer and Gillibrand are waiting to back him. Even supporters admit some in their party are “skeptical” of his extreme ideas.
These closed-door meetings prove Democrats are trying to force their socialist agenda on New York. Hardworking families don’t want this radical change. They want safety, jobs, and common sense leadership – not dangerous experiments.
