New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's push to remake the Democratic Party into a democratic socialist powerhouse faces a primary election test. But win or lose, it is unlikely to provide an effective blueprint for Democrats taking control of the US Congress in November or the White House in 2028.
The mayor, who shocked the political world with his 2025 election, is backing a slate of fellow democratic socialist candidates running in New York primaries as they take on establishment Democrats.
This comes on the heels of democratic socialist candidates winning primaries in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles mayor races. Furthermore, a democratic socialist won the Seattle mayor's race last year.

Scientists studying the comet 3I/ATLAS have determined that this interstellar visitor is remarkably ancient – formed an estimated 10 to 12 billion years ago in a primordial planetary system – and has a composition unlike anything in our solar system.
The comet, which has a diameter of around 1.6 miles, is probably the oldest-known object to venture through the solar system and researchers said it has traveled a vast distance since it was somehow expelled from its home planetary system.
