After Zorhan Mamdani's victory in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, Donald Trump lashed out, calling him a '100% Communist Lunatic'. Mamdani, who promotes democratic socialist ideals, defeated high-profile opponents including former Governor Andrew Cuomo. While progressives celebrated, Trump used harsh language, questioning Mamdani's looks and intelligence. This sparked further division among Democrats, as the party's moderate faction sees it as a potential setback in appealing to a broad voter base. Ranked choice voting remains to determine the final nominee next week, as tensions rise.
Trump suggested Mamdani was an extreme candidate while criticizing the state lawmaker's personal appearance.
Mamdani appears on a glide path to the nomination, though ranked choice vote counting will determine the final outcome next week.
