Many Democratic leaders and donors are panicking about Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist who won the party's nomination to be the next mayor of New York City.

Why it matters: Establishment Democrats looking to recover from 2024's losses fear Mamdani could hurt the party's brand nationally — while young progressives believe his formula could spread beyond New York.

Democratic leaders largely rallied behind former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in New York's mayoral primary, and Mamdani's shocking victory Tuesday was the latest example of the party's establishment being disconnected from many of its own voters.

The top two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, declined to endorse Mamdani even as they applauded his victory.

New York Rep. Laura Gillen, from Nassau County, called Mamdani the "absolute wrong choice for New York."

Rep. Tom Suozzi, also from Nassau County, said he had "serious concerns."

Reps. Pat Ryan, Josh Riley and Ritchie Torres — who went so far as to say he wouldn't run for governor if Mamdani won — all dodged reporters.

Major Democratic donors — who poured tens of millions into a Super PAC for Cuomo — were having private discussions Wednesday about whether to back an independent run by Cuomo in November's general election, or rally behind unpopular incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who's also running as an independent

The democrats would rather lose to Republicans than let a DSA social democrat win

Picture is edited lol, here is the original

Why Won’t Zohran Mamdani Denounce a Dangerous Slogan?

Zohran Mamdani’s opponents paint him as a dangerous radical. The young, socialistic candidate for New York City mayor wishes to dispel that perception—in some ways. Last week, he appeared on a podcast with The Bulwark’s Tim Miller, a former Republican and the sort of moderate Mamdani knows he needs to win over, or at least neutralize, if he is to carry this week’s Democratic primary. As Miller presented a litany of concerns about Mamdani’s plans to freeze stabilized-housing rent, establish city-run groceries, and other offenses against Econ 101, the candidate expressed a willingness to hinge his policies on outcomes and abandon his plans if they failed.

"Dangerous radical" and its rent freeze and city-run stores, lol

But when Miller asked Mamdani about the pro-Palestine slogan “Globalize the intifada,” the candidate’s pragmatism and intellectual humility evaporated. “To me, ultimately, what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights,” he said.

Mamdani insisted to Miller, evasively, that he won’t repudiate globalizing the intifada because, as he put it, “the role of the mayor is not to police language.” Yet there’s no rule in politics that says a mayor or a candidate can’t criticize political rhetoric. Nor has Mamdani bound himself to such a prohibition: He has policed the terminology of his opponents by, for instance, complaining that he has faced “dehumanizing language” as a Muslim candidate for office.

"why doesnt the scary muslim share my foreign policy views but gets angry when im racist to him??"

Cuomo also got endorsements from Bill Clinton, Charlie Kirk, Laura Loomer, Chaya Raichik (LibsOfTikTok), and Brianna Wu. Quite a crew.

We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.

If there is one thing the workers can't stand, it is occasionally getting paid to go fishing or crack open a cold one and grill outdoors.
