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.
