Fox News' Martha MacCallum to interview New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani

"New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani will join Fox News' Martha MacCallum for an interview that will air on Wednesday. The interview, which marks Mamdani's first appearance on the network, will air on "The Story with Martha MacCallum" at 3 p.m. ET and will cover the state of the mayoral race less than three weeks out from Election Day."

"Mamdani, a state lawmaker from Queens who identifies as a democratic socialist, is currently leading in the polls over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani won the Democratic primary over Cuomo and current New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Adams dropped out of the race, but Cuomo is still running as an independent. Mamdani, who turns 34 this week, is vying to become one of the youngest mayors in the city's history."

"Mamdani's meteoric rise from unknown assemblyman to frontrunner to lead the country's largest city has astonished political observers. His campaign has electrified progressives and spawned similar candidacies around the country. Mamdani has also come under fire for several of his far-left policy ideas, including city-run grocery stores, rent freezes, free buses, as well as his past anti-police rhetoric and controversial comments about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

Zohran Mamdani will appear on Fox News' "The Story with Martha MacCallum" at 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday for his first network interview, addressing the mayoral race less than three weeks before Election Day. Mamdani is a Queens state lawmaker who identifies as a democratic socialist and won the Democratic primary over Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams, with Adams withdrawing and Cuomo running as an independent. Mamdani led early October Quinnipiac polling at 46%, with Cuomo at 33% and Curtis Sliwa at 15%. Mamdani's campaign energized progressives but drew criticism for far-left proposals, past anti-police rhetoric, and controversial comments on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
