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.
