Commentary: Mayor Mamdani and the Wedge of Socialism
Update: 2025-11-06
Description
The mayoral election in New York City is about to spark the strangest American political dynamic since the mid-19th century. Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s victory Tuesday has put the Democrats in the unenviable position of having to decide what their party is, and how it moves forward into the 2026 midterm election cycle.
By virtue of Mamdani’s election and campaign endorsements by high-profile Democrats, he is now the putative leader of his party. This gives Republicans the opportunity to demand that their opponents in every local, state, and federal race explain whether they embrace or denounce Mamdani’s socialist ideology, which now defines the Democratic Party.
