Mamdani, who is the current frontrunner ahead of November's general election, launched his Game Over Greed petition on Tuesday night, calling on FIFA to end dynamic pricing and set a price cap on resale tickets. He also called on soccer's governing body to set aside 15% of tickets for local residents at a discounted rate. Mamdani said thousands of people have signed the petition since it was launched Tuesday night.

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic nomination on a platform of making the city more affordable, is now calling on soccer's global governing body to make it cheaper for New Yorkers to attend the World Cup. In a petition released Wednesday -- the first day fans could begin to apply for tickets via a pre-sale draw -- Mamdani demanded FIFA reverse its plan to set prices for next year's tournament based on demand, likening the practice to "price gouging."

Every poison has its antidote. The glaring unaffordability of New York City can be confronted by policies that prioritize the needs of working people. The confounding inertia of the Democratic Party can be reversed by bold new progressive leaders. Trump's assault on our freedoms can be resisted by popular movements connected to people where they live. To my view, the mayoral campaign of Zohran Mamdani offers New Yorkers a remarkable, if not unprecedented, opportunity to act on all three of these at once.

New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani (D) said his view on the phrase globalize the intifada has changed and that he would discourage others from using it moving forward. Mamdani while discussing the hot-button topic with Al Sharpton on his MSNBC show, PoliticsNation, on Sunday evening said he has soured on the phrase after a rabbi said it reminds her of bus bombings and restaurant attacks targeting Jews in Israel.

I find it hard to understand how the major Democratic leaders of New York state are not supporting the Democratic candidate," Sanders said during a rally with Mamdani - a stop on the progressive leader's "Fighting Oligarchy" tour.

It's important that we feel the outrage of children going hungry, people being homeless, 85 million without healthcare, [and] you got one guy one guy Mr. Musk, whose own wealth is more than the bottom 52% of American households, Sanders said. The 83-year-old socialist continued: You may have seen in the papers, they want to give him a little bonus another $800 billion-$900 billion! We are living in crazy world!

To that illustrious lineage, we can add the perennial spectacle of the Democratic establishment blanching before the prospect of a successful movement-driven populist campaign. The latest campaign in question, of course, is Zohran Mamdani's bid to be the next mayor of New York, and skittish party leaders are already declaring it a pox upon their efforts to recapture a House majority in the 2026

Vance has long rejected America as an idea in favor of America as a blood-and-soil nation, built on the bones of our (presumably European) ancestors. America "is a group of people with a shared history and a common future. It is, in short, a nation," he said when he addressed the Republican National Convention in 2024. Vance's America is the eastern Kentucky cemetery where he wants to rest with his wife, and eventually his children,

Mamdani's polling shows he leads the five-way race with nearly 42% of the vote, followed by Cuomo at 23.4% and Sliwa at 16.5%. Undecided voters represent 7.9% of the sample.

Mayor Eric Adams expressed strong opposition to Zohran Mamdani's push to decriminalize prostitution, emphasizing the religious and ethical implications of the issue. He stated, "I can't be more clear. I'm a man of God, just as Mamdani says he's a Muslim. I don't know where in his Quran it states that it's ok for a woman to be on the streets selling their body." Adams views Mamdani's stance as neglecting the serious issues of sex trafficking and safety for vulnerable populations.

Public Advocate Jumaane Williams insisted that the media needed to "understand what's going on right now, because I don't think this group of people agree about nothing" - yet they still don't.

The point raised by Andrew Cuomo emphasizes that rent-controlled apartments should ideally support those who are truly in need of affordable housing, rather than benefiting individuals with substantial incomes.

On Wednesday, WABC New York radio host Sid Rosenberg appeared on Fox News, where he expressed the fear shared by many establishment pundits, which is that Cuomo and Adams will split the non-Republican, anti-Mamdani vote.

Cuomo is overhauling his image in a last-ditch effort to stop socialist Zohran Mamdani from becoming New York City's next mayor.

Mamdani stated, "As we gather here on an island, where nearly 1 in 4 were born outside of this country, an island where 30% of its residents speak a language other than English, it's an island that we know is not immune from this horrific crackdown by the Trump administration."

There is this sense of we need some change now. His election touched a nerve. People said, you know what, we're just not getting ahead.

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."

"It's not a matter of us deciding to support [Mamdani], that decision was made by the voters. The Democratic Party has an obligation to support the Democratic nominee," said Sword.

Yeah, this fight is not over. The left is never done with their business. They've been fighting for this for a century in terms of getting what they want.
