EXCLUSIVE: New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee, Zohran Mamdani, refused to respond to questions from Fox News Digital about critics calling him a communist and whether he plans to walk back any of his far-left statements.
Outside his home on Friday, Mamdani laughed off the questions and did not answer, despite mounting scrutiny as the mayor’s race between himself, Mayor Eric Adams, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa heat up.
President Donald Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., are among the voices that have labeled Mamdani a “communist,” and many have labeled him a socialist.

“It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line. Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous,” Trump posted to Truth Social.
“He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart, he’s got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him. Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!”
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Trump Jr. echoed a similar sentiment, saying it could be the “greatest marketing campaign for Florida,” which has become a haven for ex-New Yorkers and is currently led by conservatives.
