NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Reacts to Speaker Johnson's "Mini Mamdanis" Remark

El-Sayed edged Haley Stevens by less than 1 percentage point and now faces former Rep. Mike Rogers in a pivotal November Senate race.

  • On Tuesday, physician Abdul El-Sayed won the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, narrowly defeating Rep. Haley Stevens by less than 1 percent and advancing to face Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers in November.
  • Facing more than $60 million in outside spending, including $30 million from AIPAC, El-Sayed prevailed with a campaign centered on 'Medicare for All,' praised by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson warned on social media of 'radical Marxist Democrats' claiming they 'openly express disdain for America' and embraced 'the failed, dangerous, deadly path of COMMUNISM,' warning the US risked 'being overrun by mini-Mamdanis.'
  • On Wednesday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani hit back at Johnson, arguing the Republican Party is 'deeply out of touch' with Americans and questioning why Johnson found promises like 'money in your pocket' so threatening.
  • Despite not campaigning during the primary, Mamdani left the door open to visiting Michigan before November, emphasizing that Democrats must focus on 'the concerns of working-class Americans' to win the general election.
