Katie Pavlich warns Mamdani could give the Left 'breath of life'

Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich, Stagwell Inc. CEO Mark Penn and Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson dissect the Democratic Party's 'radical' socialist movement on 'Hannity.'

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani warned of a "withering faith" in democracy to deliver for working-class Americans in a new interview with Time Magazine.

"Democracy is not just under attack from authoritarianism from the outside," Mamdani told Time Magazine. "It’s also under attack from a withering faith on the inside of its ability to deliver on these material challenges in working-class people’s lives."

Mamdani, a democratic socialist, won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary and has previously called for city-run grocery stores and defunding the police.

Mamdani also spoke to Time about the Democratic Party's struggles.

"I think the most important thing is that people see themselves and their struggles in your campaign," he told Time. 

He said the larger struggle for the Democratic Party was to make sure that they're "practicing a politics that is direct, a politics of no translation, a politics that when you read the policy commitment, you understand it, as how it applies to your life."

Time reported that Mamdani was still adjusting to his "new reality," as an emerging politician and potentially the next mayor of New York City.

"I already miss being outside," he told Time.

"I now go to cemeteries a lot between meetings," he said, referring to them as "parks without people."

A New York Times column published Thursday detailed how Obamaworld operatives were starting to coalesce around Mamdani and have been in communication with his campaign behind the scenes. 

Former President Obama reportedly called Mamdani after his Democratic primary victory in June, offering advice about the importance of governing and giving constituents optimism in dark times.

Patrick Gaspard, who has served in several high-profile political positions, including advising Obama's 2008 campaign, has been informally advising Mamdani on the side and recently introduced Obama campaign architect David Axelrod to him, the Times report revealed.
