From ABC News: 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.
After Mamdani’s upset victory over the presumed favorite, Cuomo, some of those who supported Mamdani told ABC News they 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.
On election night, leaders for Mamdani’s super PAC, “New Yorkers for Lower Costs,” released a memo titled “What we did to help elect Zohran Mamdani,” thanking donors for their role in his upset win, writing, “In particular, the generosity of Arab and Muslim Americans … has been truly incredible…” PAC chair Regina Monge told ABC News many of their biggest donors were Arab or Muslim.
Some political science experts said Mamdani won support from almost every demographic. Still, longtime Muslim donors stress the Muslim bloc stands out for its first prominent, unified national effort and believe they’re seeing the political muscle Muslims could flex across American politics if mobilized.
The report quotes Asif Mahmood, a Democratic bundler who helped raise millions for the campaigns of both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris and once ran for Congress himself, as boasting that Mamdani’s campaign has been transformative and has “moved Muslim support across the board.”
“This is not a local race anymore. This is a national race,” Mahmood gloated. He also boasted that this could impact other Islamic races, such as Michigan senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

On June 18, journalist Amy Mek also blasted out a serious warning on X. She wrote, in part:
WARNING NYC 🚨 Zohran Mamdani Isn’t Running a Campaign — He’s Leading an Islamic Political Insurgency
What we’re witnessing in New York isn’t a mayoral race. It’s civilizational jihad, and Zohran Mamdani is its smiling face.
At a Brooklyn press conference, Mamdani didn’t just talk policy. He delivered a call to his ummah, his radical global Islamic community, telling Muslims across NYC: We don’t just belong here. We belong in City Hall.
This is about dominion…
🕌 A CAIR-endorsed radical backed by international socialist movements and anti-Western networks.
🕋 A man who co-founded a radical Islamic hate group (SJP) – the campus arm of Hamas.
📣 A Marxist who openly vilifies Hindus, Jews, defends pro-Hamas rallies, and wants to force halal Sharia-based food practices, holidays, etc into NYC’s public schools.
🛂 A loud opponent of borders, ICE, and the very idea of American sovereignty.
And yet… NYC is sleepwalking toward disaster.
Last weekend, journalist Paul Sperry announced: “BREAKING: Alex Soros has funneled $24 mil to the NYC mayoral campaign of Muslim Zohran Mamdani through his fundraising arm Working Families, which means Soros’ wife HUMA ABEDIN, whose parents are Muslim Brotherhood, “will control the mayor of NY,” a lawyer investigating Abedin told me.”

Zohran Mamdani met Wednesday with congressional Democrats in Washington as he continues his outreach to members of New York’s congressional delegation, some of whom still have not said whether they’ll endorse him for mayor of New York City. https://t.co/G30aEwTLzo
