President Donald Trump blasted the far-left socialist sweep of multiple New York City congressional districts, offering a stark warning to ‘downtrodden’ blue states. Trump stated that ‘many communists’ are running in these states and that their policies will only worsen the situation.
Socialist Candidates Win Primaries
The three candidates, all endorsed by radical Mayor Zohran Mamdani, won their primary elections and have virtually unimpeded paths to Congress in their deep blue districts. They are Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York’s 13th Congressional District, State Rep. Claire Valdez in New York’s 7th Congressional District, and Brad Lander in New York’s 10th Congressional District.
Avila Chevalier and Valdez are members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which has become increasingly influential in the Democrat Party. Lander is a progressive Democrat and a former DSA member who left the party in 2023 due to its response to the Hamas attack on Israeli concertgoers.
Trump’s Warning
Trump warned that the socialist candidates’ policies will lead to further decline in the blue states. He also congratulated Mayor Mamdani on his candidates’ wins, saying that the ‘fake news media’ has given them ‘loud and universal applause.’ Trump also touted his own primary victories, stating that his endorsement has netted 259 primary wins with almost no losses.
