Zohran Mamdani faces criticism for using term ‘Zionist’ in recent remarks, as concerns grow over NYC mayoral race climate

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 22 – Zohran Mamdani seeks support from the Democratic establishment despite no endorsements from key figures like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries amid his progressive platform.

  • Last month, Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic nomination in New York City, and Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley called Mamdani 'the face of the new Democratic Party'.
  • Mamdani has outlined a platform taxing millionaires and freezing rent citywide, contrasting with establishment Democrats.
  • Recently, Mamdani has faced criticism for his stance on Israel, including refusing to condemn the phrase 'globalize the intifada' and leading a rally chanting 'BDS!'
  • “Billionaires like Bill Ackman have promised to spend tens of millions of dollars to defeat @ZohranKMamdani because they don't like the result of the democratic primary,” said Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont on X this month, highlighting oligarchy’s influence.
  • With the election approaching in November, New York City voters will scrutinize Mamdani's stance on antisemitism and extremism, influencing his electoral prospects.
