Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon is warning that democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral election should set off “alarm bells” and “flashing red lights” about the growing influence of the Democratic Party’s populist base.
“What this kid got was 5,000 people canvassing in Brooklyn by going door-to-door, the Working Families Party and the DSA [Democratic Socialists of America],” Bannon told Politico. “People should understand they’re the rising power organizationally.”
