“The Democrats have finally crossed the line. Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary and is on his way to becoming Mayor,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday afternoon. Mamdani, a democratic socialist, secured the nomination by defeating former New York Gov.

Andrew Cuomo and several other candidates. His campaign focused on proposals like city-run grocery stores, a $30 minimum wage by 2030, and free tuition at city colleges.
Trump portrayed Mamdani as an extremist and took aim at his looks. He also targeted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in his remarks. “We’ve seen Radical Leftists before, but this is getting ridiculous,” Trump posted. “He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart. He’s got AOC+3 — all dummies — supporting him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, is groveling before him. This is a major moment in our nation’s history!”

Meanwhile, Mamdani’s victory sparked fresh divisions among Democratic officials, donors, and strategists on Wednesday, as Cuomo conceded the primary. Although ranked choice voting will determine the final outcome next week, Mamdani appears to be on a clear path to the nomination.
