Trump BLASTS Mamdani-Backed Candidates, Calls Them COMMUNISTS After NYC Election Win

U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply criticized the growing influence of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani after several Mamdani-backed candidates scored major victories in New York Democratic congressional primaries. Trump took to Truth Social to label the victorious progressive candidates as “communists” and accused the media of ignoring his own political successes. The primary results saw multiple establishment-backed candidates defeated, including sitting members of Congress, marking a significant win for New York’s progressive movement. The victories have intensified debate over the future direction of the Democratic Party, with supporters celebrating a shift to the left and critics wa ing of growing divisions within the party.
