New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani could be gearing up to be the kingmaker for the 2028 election after progressive candidates made gains across the country in last week's midterms, reports suggest.
Mamdani himself can't run for president because he's not a "natural born citizen,” as required by Article II of the Constitution. But he could help decide how the Democrats will be led into 2028.
Speaking to Axios, insiders have revealed that he is meeting with union leaders trying to get a progressive candidate to run for the White House. Progressives achieved breakthrough victories in Senate races in Michigan and Maine, along with wins in competitive House races.
But with moderate Democrats also flipping key seats, many fear a civil war could be brewing between the party's two wings. Mamdani has been privately discussing how to maintain the momentum built by progressive candidates in the midterm elections.
Reports suggest he isn't sure if his close political ally, New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, will launch a bid for the presidency. If she doesn't choose to run, it could leave the progressives without a candidate.
Some think Ocasio-Cortez is more likely to run for Senate in 2028 over a White House bid. She has said she is considering both options.
But Democrats of all political stripes won races in last week's nationwide rebuke of the Trump administration, so the post-election case for left-wingers in 2028 isn't necessarily stronger than it is for centrist Democrats.
The larger fight over the party’s direction is expected to be central to the upcoming presidential primary, when a potentially crowded field of candidates will compete to define what Democrats should stand for after Trump’s second term.

Get ready for president AOC. I’m not joking, even though she is a joke.
The idea of Madmani as a kingmaker sounds laughable.
No, it's soon to be known as "buyer's remorse".
As stupid as the American public has shown, I wouldn’t bet against it !!

People will still deny demographics are destiny
Biden was a joke and they voted for him. If AOC is the best they can do, I fear for our country. What’s left of it.
I think Zohran will be the nominee. “He can’t. The Constitution.” Yeah, and when did DemoKKKrats care about the Constitution, and when did courts or the Republicans have the gonads to stop them?
El-Sayed is eligible, and he will win, maybe in 2032 or 2036.
Yes she could easily get into the white house
AOC will never win. But El-Sayed could.
Im so glad im old and have no kids
