   New Yorkers on the street were asked about radical Muslim socialist   
   Zohran Mamdani's recent victory in the state's Democratic primary   
   race and his agenda. The answers they gave should scare the hell   
   out of all Democrats.   
      
   Speaking on Wednesday to Fox News' "The Faulkner Focus," ordinary   
   people in the city were interviewed about Mamdani, and it was clear   
   that not one of them plans to vote for the candidate when he faces   
   off in November against former Democratic New York Governor Andrew   
   Cuomo and incumbent NY Mayor Eric Adams.   
      
   "I just think Mamdani would be terrible for the city," one man   
   said. "It would implode the city."

   Another man replied, "I don't support him. I think he's too   
   radical."   
      
   One man said he was "not a fan. Government-run grocery stores,   
   that's ridiculous. That's what they do in communist countries. I'm   
   hoping for a miracle, someone else, Eric Adams, or someone wins."   
      
   Another added simply, "He's an idiot."   
      
   While a fifth person responded, "That's not what we want for New   
   York, do we?"   
      
   One lady had quite possibly the smartest response when she took   
   Mamdani down for his communist agenda.   
      
   "He thinks he's gonna give everything free," she said. "Where's the   
   money gonna come from?

   AOC Parades Her New Bestie Mamdani Around Washington, DC As the DNC   
   Keeps Their Distance   
      
   I am unsure what the likelihood is that the Fox News crew only   
   spoke to people who were against Mamdani, but their answers should   
   provide some kind of warning to Democrats that not everyone in   
   their party supports the radical agenda coming from the likes of   
   Mamdani, NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and more.   
      
   My colleague Becky Noble reported on how AOC has embraced Mamdani   
   despite his obvious communist agenda, even parading him on   
   Wednesday around Washington, D.C.   
      
   AOC said that she is eager for her colleagues to meet Mamdani "face   
   to face," and "hear what he has to say about making New York   
   affordable for working people."   
      
   As much as AOC has accepted him, there are moderates still in the   
   party who are staying as far away from him as possible during his   
   little field trip to the nation's capital.   
      
   However, leaders of the party, such as Senate Minority Leader Chuck   
   Schumer (NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY),   
   recognize that Mamdani's candidacy is a problem that gets even   
   bigger if he wins. Neither has endorsed Mamdani, but both claim   
   meetings are scheduled. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) is one of the few   
   New York City-area Democrats who has been a vocal critic of Mamdani.   
      
   Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville has also tried to sound   
   the alarm to the Democratic party, labeling Mamdani's primary   
   victory a "potentially damaging event," RedState reported.   
      
   Zohran Mamdani is an avowed Democratic Socialist and has a real   
   chance to become the next mayor of New York City.
