Controversial New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani may not only be socialism’s great new hope; he may also be motivating a new coalition of Muslims seeking more influence in American politics, according to ABC.
That appears to be the conclusion of an ABC report that looked into the donations the Mamdani campaign received as it took on former governor Andrew Cuomo in last month’s Democratic primary.
According to ABC’s Zohreen Shah:
Six days before polls closed in the New York City mayoral primary and hours after former Mayor Michael Bloomberg injected an extra $5 million into former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral PAC, a group of Muslim Americans began mobilizing nationwide. A few donors told ABC News they knew they couldn’t match Cuomo’s donors, but believed a small jolt might give Zohran Mamdani a final push in the Democratic primary.
In fact, after Mamdani’s upset win, some who supported the candidate “felt their contributions toward his victory could forecast a rise in a larger network of Muslim Americans fundraising in national politics, which they say might influence who will run, and who might win,” Shah wrote.
As Breitbart News has reported, the 33-year-old avowed socialist shocked the political world with his primary win while espousing far-left views such as the abolition of private property, taxing “whiter” neighborhoods and his opposition to the state of Israel.
