At election rally, DSA candidate Mamdani embraces right-wing Democratic Party establishment By joining hands with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who refuses to raise taxes on the wealthy, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani demonstrated the fraudulence of his avowed “socialism.”

During the event, the top three state party officials, including pro-business Governor Kathy Hochul, promoted Mamdani and received his support. #Mamdani demonstratively raised Hochul’s hand in the midst of hostile heckling of her from the audience.
