Socialist Zohran Mamdani To Embark On Anti-Trump Trek Across Big Apple

Socialist Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is setting off on an anti-Trump tour in New York City beginning this week, the New York Times (NYT) reported on Monday.

Mamdani’s tour, called “Five Boroughs Against Trump,” will be centered around him trying to oppose President Donald Trump’s political agenda, according to the NYT. The tour will include a visit to Manhattan on Monday, as well as stopping in Brooklyn on Tuesday, Staten Island on Wednesday, the Bronx on Thursday and Queens on Friday, the outlet reported.

Mamdani is also set to begin his tour with endorsements from three Democrats: former Manhattan borough president Ruth Messinger, New York City Councilman Keith Powers and New York State Assemblyman Harvey Epstein, according to the NYT. Messinger notably was the 1997 Democratic New York City mayoral nominee and lost to then-incumbent Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani by a landslide margin of 17 percentage points.

Trump has previously referred to Mamdani as a “communist.” Similarly, House Speaker Mike Johnson told the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation in July that “Comrade Mamdani’s extreme views are bad news for New York City,” but will spell “great news for House Republicans” in the 2026 midterm elections.
