Mamdani: El-Sayed’s Victory ‘of Critical Importance to’ New York City
“It details the group’s strategy to infiltrate ideologically, democratically — through nonviolent means — North American society to sabotage it from within.”
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani no longer even tries to hide his socialist vision of America. During a Tuesday press conference, a reporter noted that he’d attended a fundraiser for Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed earlier this month. She asked how important he sees an El-Sayed victory to his own political project in New York and if he planned to show support for other Democratic or progressive candidates for the midterms.
