So, listen, I think that there's a lot of Republicans that are weighing into this race from afar, saying this is going to be great for the Republican Party to hang it around candidates in purple states later on. But there's people in New York here waking up to, this is really serious. This is a serious moment as you close in on Election Day.

Donalds, who was born and lived in Brooklyn, New York, warned that Mamdani's policies would be "devastating to the city of New York," drawing a comparison to the administration of former Mayor Bill de Blasio. "We've just been through this with Bill de Blasio. He was a terrible mayor, the worst that the city's ever had, and Mamdani is trying to beat him. That's not going to be good for the people of New York."

Will stated, "I want him to win. I think every 20 years or so, we need a conspicuous, confined experiment with socialism so we can crack it up again."

George Lunn ran for mayor of Schenectady in 1911 on a platform of affordability, proposing city-run grocery stores and public ownership of industries to support the working class.

"It's a fork in the road for the future of the country," Ramaswamy said. "And it's not just about one candidate in New York who represents the socialism wing."

In the 1980s, the world's largest producer of shoes was the Communist Soviet Union, turning out 800 million pairs a year, yet queues formed for foreign shoes.

Zohran Mamdani, our current mayor-in-waiting, emphasized that David Dinkins, as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, played a pivotal role in bringing the US Open to New York City. His legacy is a reminder of a different era of political engagement and sports as a unifying force.

"I said to him, 'Look, you're a very nice guy and, you know, a very smart guy,'... He's a nice kid, but he's 33 years old. He's not qualified."

Mamdani's proposals for taxing corporations and the wealthy aim to address inequality and create a fairer society, aligning with broader leftist sentiments.
