New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who is on track to win the Democratic Party ’s nomination in the New York City mayoral race, on Wednesday reacted to Donald Trump calling him a “100% Communist Lunatic” following his surprise success, warning the president that he is prepared to challenge the more cruel elements of his agenda.

Zohran Mamdani appears poised to be the Democratic nominee for mayor, where he could face a contested race that will include Eric Adams and perhaps Andrew Cuomo.

Zohran Mamdani has declared victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary after Andrew Cuomo conceded the race in a stunning upset.
