一年前，佐赫兰·曼达尼在纽约市民主党初选中获胜并成功当选美国人口最多城市的市长，在全美政坛掀起震荡。如今，这位34岁的民主社会主义者正挑战党内建制派，测试自己的政治权力边界。
这位34岁的民主社会主义市长将于周四在纽约市布鲁克林区举行的拉票集会上，与长期担任进步派领袖、两次民主党总统候选人提名亚军、佛蒙特州独立党参议员伯尼·桑德斯同台。此次集会距离关键初选仅不到一周。
曼达尼与桑德斯旨在助力这位市长支持的一系列候选人，其中两人将挑战民主党国会在任议员，以此塑造一个更具进步色彩的政党。

2026年4月12日，在纽约击倒中心举行的佐赫兰·曼达尼就职百日纪念活动上，纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼与众议员伯尼·桑德斯拥抱。
曼达尼背书的左翼候选人包括政治组织者达里亚利扎·阿维拉·谢瓦利埃，她正在纽约第13国会选区挑战众议员阿德里亚诺·埃斯皮利亚特——这位议员同时也是国会西班牙裔核心小组主席。该选区覆盖曼哈顿北部三分之一区域和布朗克斯的一小块区域。埃斯皮利亚特得到了包括纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔在内的一众政党领袖的支持。
这位市长还支持前纽约市审计长布拉德·兰德，后者在去年的拥挤初选中曾与曼达尼竞争，但后来成为他最坚定的支持者之一。兰德正在第10国会选区挑战民主党现任众议员丹·戈德曼，该选区包括曼哈顿下城和布鲁克林部分区域。戈德曼的支持者包括前众议院议长南希·佩洛西。
在覆盖布鲁克林和皇后区部分区域的第7选区，曼达尼背书的社会主义州议员克莱尔·巴尔德斯正在挑战布鲁克林区长安东尼奥·雷亚诺索，后者得到了即将退休的纽约州民主党众议员妮迪亚·贝拉兹克斯的支持。
曼达尼介入的这些竞选结果，将考验他在纽约民主党人中的人气能否转化为选举中的助选效应。

2026年6月14日，纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼出席曼哈顿第五大道举行的波多黎各日游行。
“这就是我们的团队，今年属于我们。所有人都要助力他们冲线，”曼达尼在社交媒体上宣传周四集会的帖子中强调道。
这位社会主义者一年半以来一直是极左翼的宠儿。但在担任纽约市市长六个月后，他也将包括霍楚尔在内的民主党前批评者拉拢为盟友。他甚至还获得了唐纳德·特朗普总统的称赞。
特朗普去年曾多次称曼达尼是“共产主义疯子”，但在去年11月一场引发全国广泛关注的椭圆形办公室会议上，这位总统称赞当时的候任市长是一个“非常理性的人”，会“干得非常出色”。
2026年2月26日，华盛顿特区，纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼在白宫与特朗普总统会面。
“显而易见，曼达尼深谙权力之道，也懂得如何运用权力，”资深民主党战略家乔·卡亚佐对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
“他依然极具人气，而且他似乎也明白这种人气不可能永远持续下去。这就是为什么我认为现在能看到他展现自己的政治实力。这是精明的政治策略，”曾参与2016年和2020年桑德斯总统竞选的卡亚佐补充道。
曼达尼支持的候选人，包括一些角逐州立法机构职位的人选，大多都在宣传这位市长的施政纲领——在这个生活成本位居全美前列的城市聚焦民生负担问题。
桑德斯出生于纽约市，去年曾出席曼达尼的竞选集会，并在今年1月的就职典礼上为这位市长主持宣誓就职仪式。他在社交媒体上强调：“现在比以往任何时候都更需要那些能亲身感受工薪阶层所面临困境的国会领导人。”

曼达尼对三名国会候选人的支持，以及周四与桑德斯共同举行的集会，给共和党人提供了更多弹药。长期以来，共和党一直将曼达尼斥为激进分子，他们试图将他作为攻击工具，以在今年的中期选举中保住众议院微弱多数席位。

“佐赫兰·曼达尼的社会主义标签极具破坏性，”美国全国共和党国会委员会（NRCC）全国新闻发言人迈克·马里内拉对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
“而在民主党缺乏领袖和纲领的当下，他正是我们可以用来攻击民主党人的那种‘稻草人’，我们可以借此真正展示谁才是民主党领导层，以及他们所支持的疯狂政策。”

Socialist Surge: Mamdani flexes growing political muscle as he takes on Dem establishment

Dems divided over progressive push as Mamdani defends far-left House candidate
Political strategists Meghan Hays and Luke Ball debate the Democratic Party’s perceived shift toward the progressive left. They analyze Sen. Bernie Sanders’ significant influence on the party’s direction, including his endorsements of socialist candidates like Darializa Avila Chevalier, whose controversial social media posts spark debate. The discussion highlights potential impacts on the upcoming midterm elections.

One year after sending political shock waves across the country with his New York City Democratic primary victory en route to winning election as mayor of the nation’s most populous city, Zohran Mamdani is testing the limits of political power as he takes on the party establishment.
The 34-year-old democratic socialist mayor is teaming up with longtime progressive champion and two-time Democratic presidential nominee runner-up Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., at a get-out-the-vote rally in the New York City borough of Brooklyn on Thursday, less than one week before crucial primary elections.
Mamdani and Sanders are aiming to boost a slate of candidates backed by the mayor, including two who are running against Democratic congressional incumbents, as part of their bid to mold a more progressive party.

The left-wing candidates endorsed by Mamdani include political organizer Darializa Avila Chevalier, who is primary challenging Rep. Adriano Espaillat, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair, in New York’s 13th U.S. House District, which covers the northern third of Manhattan and a sliver of the Bronx. Espaillat is supported by a slew of party leaders, including New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.
The mayor is also backing former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who ran against Mamdani last year in the crowded primary field but became one of his biggest backers. Lander is challenging incumbent Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman in the 10th Congressional District, which includes lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. Goldman’s supporters include former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
And in New York’s 7th, which covers parts of Brooklyn and Queens, Mamdani’s endorsed socialist state Assembly Member Claire Valdez, who is battling Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, who is backed by retiring Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D.N.Y.
The outcomes of the races Mamdani weighed-in on will put to test whether his popularity among New York Democrats translates to coattails in elections.

“This is the team. This is our year. It’s up to all of us to get them over the finish line,” Mamdani emphasized in a social media post spotlighting Thursday’s rally.
The socialist has been a darling of the far-left for a year and a half. But six months into his tenure as New York City mayor, he can also count former critics within the Democratic Party, including Hochul, as allies. And he’s even earned praise from President Donald Trump.
Trump last year repeatedly claimed Mamdani was a “communist lunatic,” but during an Oval Office meeting in November that grabbed tons of national attention, the president lauded the then-mayor-elect as a “very rational person” who would do a “really good job.”

“It’s crystal clear that Mamdani understands power and how to leverage it,” longtime Democratic strategist Joe Caiazzo told Fox News Digital.
“He remains incredibly popular and it appears he also understands that may not always be the case. That’s why I think you see him flexing his political muscle now. It’s smart politics,” added Caiazzo, a veteran of the 2016 and 2020 Sanders presidential campaigns.
The candidates Mamdani’s backing, including some running for state legislative offices, are mostly showcasing the mayor’s platform of focusing on affordability in a city with one of the nation’s highest costs of living.
Sanders, a New York City native who last year appeared at rallies on Mamdani’s behalf and swore in the mayor at his January inauguration, highlighted on social media, “Now more than ever, we need leaders in Congress who understand firsthand the struggles working people face.”

Mamdani’s support for the trio of congressional candidates, along with Thursday’s rally with Sanders, gives Republicans, who have long cast the mayor as a radical, more ammunition to use him as a cudgel as they work to hold their razor-thin House majority in this year’s midterm elections.

“Zohran Mamdani’s socialist brand is as toxic as it comes,” National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) National Press Secretary Mike Marinella told Fox News Digital.
“And during a time when Democrats don’t have a leader or a message, he’s exactly the kind of bogeyman we can use against Democrats to truly show who is leading their party and the crazy policies they all support.”
