N.Y., talked to Fox News Digital about her breakfast meeting with socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday, as well as ICE activity in her district.

At a press briefing on Thursday, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was asked about meeting with Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani.

In a town where all politics is tribal, Mamdani has emerged as a leader of New York’s South Asian community, 600,000 strong, which is now following its Irish, Italian, Jewish, Black, and Latino predecessors in demanding a seat at the table inside City Hall. That bloc is squarely behind Mamdani and fighting hard for victory in November.

Mamdani’s trouncing of Cuomo marked the biggest national victory for lefties since Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won her first election in an upset over entrenched Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley in 2018, Smith said.

Long-time Democratic strategist David Axelrod talks about new polling showing Trump’s megabill he just signed into law is unpopular with many voters. He also tells CNN’s Wolf Blitzer how he thinks Democrats should handle controversial New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

Mamdanis belong to the Khoja community, who were categorized by the British in the early 19th century as “Hindoo Mussalman” because their traditions spanned both religions.

Following Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory in the Democratic primary earlier this month, the spotlight has turned to his family’s ties to anti-Israel groups. His father sits on the advisory council of the recently formed London-based Gaza Tribunal, which accuses Israel of committing genocide.
