Mamdani Is The Present And Future Of The Democratic Party
I & I Editorial Board

New York City voters are expected to elect Zohran Mamdani today to be their mayor. Do not make the mistake of thinking this is an aberration. His rise is the natural regression of the Democratic Party.
While the Democratic Socialists of America don’t cotton to the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party is in league with the Democratic Socialists. Barack Obama, the titular head of a party that for the moment has no leadership otherwise, recently called Mamdani “to offer his support” and “offered to be a ‘sounding board'” for the candidate.
Mamdani spokesperson Dora Pekec said the candidate, who now represents the 36th District in the state Assembly, “appreciated President Obama’s words of support and their conversation on the importance of bringing a new kind of politics to our city,” according to Fox News Digital.
Other prominent Democrats publicly supporting Mamdani include Sen. Bernie Sanders (of course), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (of course, again), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Oklahoma Indian Territory), U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-Sombrero Land), New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
At least the Queens Democratic Party has shown some judgment, refusing to endorse Mamdani.
“There is a growing concern that socialism is hijacking the Democratic Party,” Democratic district leader Hiram Monserrate told the New York Post.
