Why Trump’s ‘Mamdani the Commie’ Tag Will Stick

Zohran Mamdani wants to have his cake — freshly baked at his local government-run grocery store — and eat it, too.

The 33-year-old son of a Columbia professor and an acclaimed filmmaker has made the transition from unknown state assemblyman to New York City mayoral frontrunner by riding a wave of enthusiasm for his unapologetic, far-left agenda.

But now that he has to close the deal in a general election, he’s desperately trying to soften his stances.

After Mamdani’s triumph last week, President Donald Trump marveled “It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line” — then deemed the political wunderkind a “100% Communist Lunatic.”

Mamdani objected to the label during a Sunday morning interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker, to whom he insisted he is merely “fighting” for “working people.”
