【福克斯新闻独家报道】 在社会主义候选人接连取得多场备受瞩目的胜利后，纽约共和党州长候选人布鲁斯·布雷克曼警告民主党已过于左倾，并预测建制派民主党人将越来越多地支持共和党。
在周二的胜选后，布雷克曼独家接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，选举结果凸显了该党进步派影响力的不断扩大，并暴露了民主党联盟内部日益扩大的分歧。
“疯狂极左派已接管民主党，”在三名得到纽约市长佐赫兰·曼达尼支持的社会主义者赢得纽约选区初选数小时后，他说道，“他们已失去对本党的掌控。”
社会主义者击败传统民主党人的胜选势头加剧了人们对民主党未来及其极左翼派别影响力日益扩大的辩论。共和党人利用这些胜利作为证据，称民主党在税收和公共安全等问题上正脱离温和派选民。

布雷克曼此次参选旨在击败纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔，他认为社会主义者已 effectively 掌控民主党，为共和党在该州温和派和工薪阶层选民中创造了机会。
“他们给所有人提供免费福利，”布雷克曼告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，并补充说进步派候选人正在向选民做出不切实际的承诺，“他们永远不会兑现自己的诺言，”他继续说道，警告这些提议最终将无法兑现。
他认为，选民正在被灌输一种不切实际的愿景，即“纽约的一切都可以免费”，而长期支持民主党的选民越来越对该党近期的方向感到疏离。
“传统民主党人今年会投票给共和党，”布雷克曼预测，“他们知道自己的政党已走火入魔。”
这位共和党候选人将曼达尼的迅速崛起作为他所说的社会主义者在民主党内部影响力不断扩大的证据。布雷克曼承认，政府运营的杂货店和其他公共资助项目等提议可能在政治上受欢迎，但声称它们最终无法兑现承诺。
“免费杂货店，我的意思是，这完全是胡说八道，”布雷克曼说，“政府不应与私营部门竞争。”

布雷克曼表示，进步派候选人倡导的许多政策可能会损害小企业，并加速居民和雇主离开纽约。相反，他认为该州应专注于降低税收、减少公用事业成本，并营造更有利于商业的环境。
在纽约社会主义者取得压倒性胜选的次日接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，布雷克曼指责霍楚尔同样激进，且未能在曼达尼等进步人士崛起时站出来反对民主党左翼派别。
“他们同流合污，”布雷克曼在谈到霍楚尔和曼达尼时说，“我现在称她为‘同志凯西’。”
尽管布雷克曼的初选无人竞争，但今年早些时候他获得了唐纳德·特朗普总统的背书，这为他的竞选带来了提振，他将在这个特朗普长期的家乡州深蓝的纽约挑战霍楚尔。
当被问及特朗普的支持时，布雷克曼表示这很有价值，但敦促选民关注负担能力、公共安全和降低税收等共同关切。

布雷克曼认为，民主党对社会主义候选人的日益支持最终可能使共和党受益，尤其是在郊区和工薪阶层选民中，他认为这些选民越来越对该党的优先事项感到疏离。
“传统民主党人看到自己的政党走火入魔，他们不喜欢这样，”布雷克曼说，“他们会加入我们，因为这是阻止他们的政党沦为灭绝政党的唯一途径。”
针对布雷克曼的言论，霍楚尔竞选团队发言人瑞安·拉杜洛瓦基表示：“纽约人都知道，布鲁斯·布雷克曼忙着讨好极右翼、拥抱1月6日事件的策划者，并向唐纳德·特朗普妥协，根本不会为他们和他们的家庭而战。从纵容移民海关执法局的滥权行为，到抬高成本，再到努力削弱医疗补助计划，布雷克曼以‘百分百支持MAGA’为荣，就像特朗普给他贴的标签一样。”

FIRST ON FOX:Following a string of high-profile victories by socialist candidates, New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman warned the Democratic Party has veered too far left and predicted establishment Democrats will increasingly back Republicans.
Speaking exclusively to Fox News Digital in the wake of Tuesday’s wins, Blakeman said the results underscored the growing influence of the party’s progressive wing and exposed a widening divide within the Democratic coalition.
“The lunatic left has taken over the Democratic Party,” he said just hours after three socialists backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their primaries in New York districts. “They’ve lost control of their party.”
The rise of socialist victories against traditional Democrats have intensified debate over the Party’s future and the growing influence of its far-left flank. Republicans have seized on those wins as evidence the party is moving away from moderate voters on issues such as taxes and public safety.

Blakeman, who is running to unseat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, argued that socialists have effectively taken control of the Democratic Party, creating an opening for Republicans among moderate and working-class voters in the state.
“They’ve offered everybody free stuff,” Blakeman told Fox News Digital, adding that progressive candidates are making unrealistic promises to voters. “They’re never going to do what they say they’re going to,” he continued, warning that such proposals would ultimately prove impossible to deliver.
He argued voters are being sold an unrealistic vision in which “everything in New York could be free,” while longtime Democrats increasingly feel disconnected from the party’s recent direction.
“The traditional Democrats are going to vote for Republicans this year,” Blakeman predicted. “They know their party has gone off the deep end.”
The Republican hopeful pointed to Mamdani’s meteoric rise as evidence of what he described as the growing influence of socialists within the party. Blakeman acknowledges that proposals such as government-run grocery stores and other publicly funded programs may be politically popular but claims they would ultimately fail to deliver on their promises.
“Free grocery stores, I mean, that’s complete nonsense,” Blakeman said. “Government should not be competing with the private sector.”

Blakeman said many of the policies being championed by progressive candidates could harm small businesses and accelerate the outflow of residents and employers from New York. Instead, he argued, the state should focus on lowering taxes, reducing utility costs and creating a more business-friendly environment.
During his interview with Fox News Digital the night after sweeping socialist victories in New York, Blakeman accused Hochul of being just as radical and failing to stand up to the Democratic Party’s left flank as progressive figures like Mamdani gain prominence.
“They’re in league together,” Blakeman said of Hochul and Mamdani. “I now call her Comrade Kathy.”
Though he ran uncontested, Blakeman’s campaign received a boost earlier this year when he secured President Donald Trump’s endorsement as he seeks to unseat Hochul in deep blue New York, the president’s longtime home state.
Asked about Trump’s support, Blakeman said it’s valuable but urged voters to focus on shared concerns such as affordability, public safety and lowering taxes.

Blakeman argued that the Democratic Party’s growing embrace of socialist candidates could ultimately benefit Republicans, particularly among suburban and working-class voters who he believes feel increasingly disconnected from the party’s priorities.

“Traditional Democrats see their party going off the deep end. They don’t like it,” Blakeman said. “They’re going to come on board with us because it’s the only way to stop their party from becoming an extinct party.”
Responding to Blakeman’s remarks, Hochul campaign spokesperson Ryan Radulovacki said, “New Yorkers know Bruce Blakeman is too busy catering to the far-right, embracing January 6 architects, and caving to Donald Trump to fight for them and their families. From enabling ICE’s abuses, to raising costs, to fighting to gut Medicaid, Blakeman’s proud of being ‘MAGA all the way,’ just like Trump labeled him.”
