Sen. John Fetterman criticized Zohran Mamdani's victory in New York City's Democratic primary, declaring it beneficial for Republicans. He voiced significant disagreement with Mamdani's policies, admitting that Mamdani is not a true Democrat. Despite the socialist's primary success, established Democrats are reluctant to support him. Fetterman emphasized that Mamdani's rise presents the GOP with valuable branding opportunities. He warned against fragmentation among Democratic candidates in the general election, advising consolidation to prevent divisions from leading to their downfall.
Fetterman stated that Zohran Mamdani's rise in New York's Democratic primary represents 'Christmas in July for the GOP,' emphasizing stark ideological differences with his policies.
Fetterman expressed that Mamdani offers the Republican Party an opportunity to define mainstream Democrats as he mentioned, 'He provided an opportunity for the GOP to brand our party along his radical policy lines.'
Despite Mamdani's primary win, the New York Democratic Party's establishment remains hesitant to support him fully, showcasing divisions within the party.
Fetterman cautioned that Democrats must consolidate their votes against Mamdani to avoid 'sure mutual destruction' in the general election amidst competing independents.
