New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, on the night of June 18 issued one of his sharpest rebukes of the Democratic leadership, saying that the party will lose the White House in 2028 if it does not fundamentally change course.
“For far too long, our party has seen its job as managing decline instead of delivering material change for working people,” Mamdani told a crowd of thousands of people at Kings Theatre in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, where he and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) headlined a get out the vote rally for three progressive congressional candidates ahead of New York’s June 23 primaries.
