From Fox News: The National Democratic Committee appeared to reaffirm its support for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in a social media post on Wednesday despite the self-identified Democratic socialist’s record of far-left, communist policies and extreme anti-Israel views.
The DNC clipped and posted Mamdani telling “I’ve Had It” podcast hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, “We welcome anyone to join this movement.”
Mamdani was describing how he fostered a broad coalition of supporters to win the Democratic primary in June by welcoming anyone to join his movement, including those who voted for President Donald Trump.
Social media quickly seized on the post, criticizing the party for embracing Mamdani and upholding a candidate who has called for communist policies such as “seizing the means of production” and repeatedly declined to denounce the slogan “global intifada,” fueling claims of antisemitism from critics.
The DNC, who has stopped using Elon Musk’s X platform, voiced their support for Mamdani in a post on the left-leaning BlueSky platform.

The report notes that several top Democrats, including NY Gov. Kathy Hochul, Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., still have not endorsed Mamdani in his quest to be mayor of the nation’s largest city.
President Trump emphasized Thursday evening, “I’d prefer not to have a Communist mayor of New York City… so I would like to see two people drop out and have it be one-on-one and I think that’s a race that can be won.”
