"(Katie Godowski/MediaPunch /IPX) New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani (D) is heading straight into the lion's den. The Democratic frontrunner will sit down with longtime Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum on Wednesday for an interview that will air at 3 p.m. ET on The Story with Martha MacCallum, according to a network press release. The sit-down will air with just three weeks to go until New Yorkers head to the polls."
"Fox's opinion shows have been notably critical of the self-professed Democratic socialist over the last few months, repeatedly jabbing him for embracing far-left economic policies and refusing to disavow inflammatory rhetoric about Israel. Mamdani's candidacy has also attracted the ire of President Donald Trump, who has nicknamed him my little communist, and threatened to yank federal funding from the Big Apple after Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) endorsed him."
Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic frontrunner for New York City mayor, will be interviewed by Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum on The Story at 3 p.m. ET, three weeks before the election. A Quinnipiac poll shows Mamdani leading by 13 points over former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who remains in the race as an independent after losing the Democratic primary. Republican Curtis Sliwa polls at about 15 percent. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams dropped out last month. Fox opinion shows have criticized Mamdani for far-left economic policies and comments about Israel. President Donald Trump derided him as my little communist and threatened to withhold federal funding after Gov. Kathy Hochul endorsed him.
