Washington Post: Some Democrats Now ‘Growing Anxious’ About What a Zohran Mamdani Victory Will Mean for Their Party


A new report from the Washington Post claims that some Democrats are getting nervous about what a win for Zohran Mamdani in New York City would mean for their party in the long term. They are not alone.
Even Bill Maher expressed concerns about this on his show last Friday night.
The Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate has very little experience and has promised the moon and more to his loyal supporters. Rank and file Democrats, who have fought the ‘socialist’ label for years, now realize that there will be no escape from that in the future if Mamdani wins and becomes the face of the party.
The Washington Post piece is behind a paywall, but FOX News has some details:
‘Democrats are nervous’ about potential Zohran Mamdani victory, new report warns
A report from The Washington Post Tuesday warned that “Democrats are nervous” about New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, as the 34-year-old democratic socialist’s momentum continues ahead of the election.
“In New York, Zohran Mamdani is on the verge of taking democratic socialism to new heights if he wins election as mayor of the nation’s most populous city,” wrote The Post’s Sabrina Rodriguez. “Outside New York, some Democrats are growing anxious.”
The headline read, “A democratic socialist is poised to become New York mayor. Democrats are nervous.”
The report contains quotes from numerous Democrats expressing their concerns over what Mamdani’s potential win could mean for the Democratic Party’s image and how it could reinforce Republicans’ claims that Democrats aim to usher in socialism.
“It’s one thing for Republicans to use absurd attacks calling Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi socialists to scare voters,” Fernand Amandi, a longtime Democratic strategist, told The Post. “It’s another thing to use an actual socialist to scare voters about the Democrats being the party of socialists, and that’s the concern about Mamdani.”
Mamdani was recently caught in a lie about a family member who was supposedly afraid to ride the NYC subway after 9/11 because of Islamophobia.
He has also worked very hard to erase his own anti-police record, but keeps getting tripped up on that as well.
Zohran Mamdani: “I never denigrated the NYPD or said that I want to defund the police.”

Mamdani is a conspiratorial anti-Semitic psycho, he praises & pals around with radical imams & people who justify jihad, he gave his love to ppl convicted of terrorist financing for Hamas, he hates Israel, he hates the police, he hates America, and oh by the way he’s a Communist. https://t.co/1yi2ctZrHC

It’s difficult to imagine what New York City will look like a year from now if this man is elected mayor.
