During his “Fox News Sunday” appearance, Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., said that Zohran Mamdani isn’t speaking for the Democratic Party about Mamdani’s place in the party and run for mayor of New York City. Following his recent primary victory, Mamdani experienced a varied reception in Washington, highlighting the ideological divide within the party.
During his D.C. visit, he joined a breakfast with approximately 40 House Democrats, arranged by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Several moderates voiced reservations, marking a contrast with progressive support, as the Democratic Party faces internal ideological tensions, revealed by Smith’s comments.
