*** Election Night Livewire *** Mamdani vs. the Establishment in Fight for Soul of Democrat Party
Breitbart ^ | 23 Jun 2026 | Bradley Jaye

Posted on 06/23/2026 6:33:43 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is taking the Democrat Party establishment head-on in the greatest test of his political clout since his unlikely election victory in November.

Maryland and Utah join New York in holding primaries Tuesday, with South Carolina holding primary runoffs.

But most political prognosticators are fixated on New York, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), whose political fortunes hang on maintaining control over their evolving, increasingly radical Democrat caucuses.

Mamdani, a democratic socialist, has endorsed three candidates for the House of Representatives, each cut from his Marxist cloth and representing a significant challenge to the power structure that enabled Jeffries and Schumer to rise to the upper echelons of party power.

In the Seventh Congressional District, Mamdani endorsed New York State Assemblymember Clair Valdez over Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, who is the preferred replacement for outgoing Rep. Nadia Velazquez (D-NY).

But Mamdani isn’t simply endorsing against the candidate preferred by outgoing Democrat representatives. He is taking on incumbent Democrats too.

In the Tenth Congressional District, Mamdani endorsed his former rival for mayor, Brad Lander, over Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY).

I hope Jack (Goofball) Schlossberg has been booted out of the primary. Last I saw, he was only at 10% popularity.

Long time Goldman (D-NY) already lost to the Commie candidate.

All three of Mamdani’s picks won U.S. House seats tonight. Outright Marxists. Most Americans have absolutely no idea the destruction Biden and Obama have inflicted upon this nation with massive third world migration.

There are still many “Americans” living in NYC. But they are ideologically brainwashed thanks to public schools and of course, places of higher learning such as Columbia.

Sad and ominous, but not the end.
So many voters are suckers for a new face, an unknown name and a professionally produced campaign.
They will think that’s what they want, not fully considering all that lurks inside of this bright, glittery box.
Fox News can’t do it alone.

Mamdani is pretty good at this politics game. Underestimate him at your peril.

In November he was looking at six House seats - two retiring incumbents (Vazquez and Nadler) and four “moderate” (by NYC standard) incumbents (Jefferies, Goldman, Torres, and Espaillat). He picked three of the seats and went three for three tonight, dropping two incumbents. He let the other three seats slide. In particular, challenging Espaillat while letting Torres ride through looks genius in retrospect.

Also looks like he added five seats in the Assembly and one in the Senate.

After he's done being the Mayor, he'll run for Congress. Then he'll become the Speaker of the House.
