Republicans work to make Zohran Mamdani the face of the Democratic Party
NBC News ^ | October 27, 2025 | Scott Wong

Top Republicans on Monday seized on House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ endorsement of Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York, casting the self-described democratic socialist as the new face of the Democratic Party ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., called Jeffries’ endorsement a “seismic shift in politics.”

“We saw our clearest sign yet that this radical insurgent movement in the Democrat Party is succeeding, and they are ending what has always been known as the Democrat Party in America,” Johnson told reporters in the Capitol. “After a monthslong pressure campaign from the far left, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries finally relented. He gave in, and he gave his endorsement to the socialist running to be mayor of New York City.”

The fresh comments are an attempt by GOP leaders to tie all congressional Democrats to Mamdani, hoping to paint the party as too far left heading into next November’s House and Senate elections. The popular Muslim American state assemblyman has energized the progressive base, but his calls to raise taxes on the wealthy and support for Palestinians have drawn fire from Republicans and some moderate Democrats.

Mandami himself aims to become the face of the Democratic party -- and seems likely to succeed.

The Republicans aren’t working to make him the face of the party, the Democrats HAVE ALREADY DONE SO. THEY have chosen him to represent their ideology.

Republicans did not have to work very hard to make Mami the face of the dems. Dems have been trying to turn America left for years. Dems with biden allowed 20 million illegals into the Country for their vote and to help turn socialism as the law of the land. Dems also encourage muslims to come to to come here because they are automatically socialists, look at Mami as an example. Sharia law will wake dems up but it will be too late.

The Democrat Party has split into two factions. Call them the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks.

The Republicans didn’t have to do anything. He IS the face of the Democrat party. Him and Kamala Harris.

And a few differences. It seems commies (socialists are commie lite) want to kill the dissenters swiftly. Moslem like torment.
