U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply criticized the growing influence of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani after several Mamdani-backed candidates scored major victories in New York Democratic congressional primaries. Trump took to Truth Social to label the victorious progressive candidates as “communists” and accused the media of ignoring his own political successes.

The primary results saw multiple establishment-backed candidates defeated, including sitting members of Congress, marking a significant win for New York’s progressive movement. The victories have intensified debate over the future direction of the Democratic Party, with supporters celebrating a shift to the left and critics warning of growing divisions within the party.

00:25New political fire is erupting
00:29in New York, and Donald Trump is at the center of it.
00:32The U.S. president has lashed out after a wave of progressive victories backed by New
00:38York Mayor Zoran Mamdani swept key Democratic congressional primary races, tightening the
00:44grip of the party's left wing and shaking up the Democratic establishment.
00:49In a fiery post on Truth Social, Trump mocked the results, calling Mamdani's endorsed
00:55candidates communists, while claiming the media was ignoring his own political influence.
01:01He wrote that Mamdani pulled through three solid communists and accused what he called
01:07the fake news media of celebrating them while ignoring his own endorsement record.
01:13They're going radical left, they're going, and really, you know, you talk about the
01:18Democrat socialists, you took really, it's really communist.
01:21That's, these people, I watched that woman last night.
01:24That's not a socialist.
01:26I know socialists, that's a, that woman is a communist.
01:29And, you know, what they don't say is that I was 16-0 last night.
01:34But mine were a little more boring, a little more mainstream.
01:38They were Republican conservatives, but we were 16-0.
01:42Trump also highlighted his broader political success, claiming a perfect 16-0 win streak
01:49in recent races, and asserting his endorsements have helped secure hundreds of primary victories
01:55nationwide.
01:56But the real political shock came in New York.
02:00Three Mamdani-backed candidates scored major wins, including Clair Valdez, Daryaliza Ovinles-Chevalier,
02:08and former city comptroller Brad Lander, all of whom defeated establishment-backed rivals,
02:14including sitting members of Congress in heavily Democratic districts.
02:19The results mark a significant expansion of Mamdani's influence inside New York politics,
02:24signaling a growing strength of the democratic-socialist movement within the Democratic Party.
02:31Speaking after the victories, Mamdani framed the outcome as a turning point, saying it was
02:37not a one-time surge, but a larger political shift.
02:41His supporters are now celebrating what they see as a rising progressive wave reshaping the party from within.
02:48But critics within the Democratic establishment are sounding the alarm.
02:54Some veteran lawmakers argue Mamdani's decision to challenge sitting members risks deepening internal
03:00divisions and weakening party unity ahead of crucial legislative battles in Washington.
03:05Former Congresswoman Nidia Velazquez, whose successor was among those defeated, expressed disappointment,
03:13warning that political relations across city, state, and federal levels are essential for securing resources for New York.
03:21The fallout is now spilling into broader Democratic leadership circles,
03:26with pressure mounting on House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, as his allies were among those unseated in the primaries.
03:33While tensions escalate in New York, Trump also pointed to Republican wins elsewhere,
03:40including a gubernatorial runoff victory in South Carolina, reinforcing his claim that his endorsements remain politically powerful nationwide.
03:49Still, the headline remains the same, a rising progressive bloc in New York,
03:55a shaken Democratic establishment, and a furious Donald Trump firing back as political battles intensify on both sides of the
04:04aisle.
