New York City mayoral candidate and self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D) became the subject of widespread ridicule after failing to bench press 135 pounds without assistance at a city event. The incident occurred during a Men’s Day celebration in Brooklyn, where Mamdani struggled to lift the bar and had to be helped by a spotter from the group “500 Men Making a Difference,” according to the New York Post.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams took sharp aim at mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s record on prostitution legalization, questioning how a self-described man of faith could ever support sex work.
New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, a far-left Democrat and self-described socialist, accused former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Donald Trump of conspiring to influence the outcome of the upcoming general election. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Mamdani pointed to a New York Times report claiming Trump spoke with Cuomo and is weighing which candidate has the best chance to beat Mamdani in November.
