The candidate of the town hall of New York Zohran Mamdani, the supporters, reject the “Communist” label

Since the main upheaval of Zohran Mamdani earlier this summer, the candidate for the Democrat Town Hall has been described as “communist” by President Donald Trump.

The supporters of Mamdani, who spoke to Fox News Digital during a launch of canvas to Prospect Park on Sunday, rejected the term, arguing that his main victory represented more than arbitrary labels.

“It is not necessarily communism that won New York primary, but the vision it offers to a more affordable New York,” said Nina, a door kicker carrying a t-shirt “Educators for Zohran”. “That’s why people voted, and that’s what he won, and that’s what he’s going to win.”

Mamdani is an self-proclaimed democratic socialist who has been approved by progressive leaders, notably Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., And representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y. Trump was quick to call him “100% communist” after Mamdani announced the victory in June.

Perry, another Brooklyn solicitor, overthrew the scenario on Trump’s nickname for Mamdani, telling Fox News Digital to “look at people who say he cannot do it or who call him socialist or communist”.

Bridget, professor of New York, and Perry both shook his head in disagreement when asked if these labels worry them.

“This is not ideology,” said Nicholas, a supporter of Mamdani who volunteered to Prospect Park for the launch of the solicitude of the campaign. “He does not try to demonize these terms, communism and socialism, which, frankly, I think that the American public does not have a very good idea of what these terms mean exactly.”

Nicholas said that Mamdani’s campaign is “much larger than that”.

Among the few dozen supporters who attended the launch of canvas, many were teachers.

“I want a mayor who will defend the students,” said Bridget, telling Fox News Digital that he is a critic of New York has a mayor who “will fight the Trump administration for the rights and security of our students”.

Mamdani concluded his tour “Five Boroughs Against Trump” through New York last week, visiting a district per day to highlight the way in which the second mandate of the Trump administration, on key issues, including immigration and the economy, has an impact on everyday New York.

“I have many students from immigrants who are worried about their security, their parents’ safety,” said Nicholas. “I have children who fear that ice agents come to school and leave them from the class.”

Nicholas explained that this is why having a candidate like Mamdani, who is committed to protecting immigrant communities from “what Trump and his friends are trying to do, disappearing from people”, is so important to him.

“Having a mayor who regroups firmly and boldly is why I am here,” he added. “This is why I want Zohran to be mayor.”

Perry said she supported Mamdani because he “has a great vision for the city”, especially on housing.

“Let’s be big again,” added Perry, saying to Fox News Digital that she likes her “optimization” and “opening”, as she said, “we haven’t seen for a while.”

Mamdani promised to freeze the rents if it was elected in November. He accused Adams of appointing the members of the board of directors of rent guidelines to increase rents on stabilized apartments.

The former mayor Bill of Blasio The board of directors voted for Gelézer the low three times During his mandate.

Former governor Andrew Cuomo, who lost the primary against Mamadani, described the socialist’s plan to freeze the rent “a politically practical posture”, and declared that such a decision would harm the owners who would be “unable to maintain their buildings”.

Nina said that Mamdani’s campaign promises, in particular fast and free buses and universal daycare services, “are aimed at the Affected New York Affairs Crisis” which creates an impact on New Yorkers, like her high school students.

“I am here as an educator,” said Nina. “I am here as a New Yorker who was raised here, who wants to stay here.”

Under the direction of Mamdani, Nina said she thought it was possible.
