The Democratic Socialists of America “army” was quick to take credit for Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s election win — declaring that his victory was a “clear mandate” for their progressive agenda.
Our movement is at the heart of Zohran’s campaign. This overwhelming victory is a clear mandate for a democratic socialist agenda to make New York City one that people can afford,” Gustavo Gordillo, co-hair of DSA’s New York City chapter, blasted out in a post-election statement.
“MAGA billionaires spent millions to prop up Andrew Cuomo and try to stop this movement, but we’ve proved once again: they have money, but we have power.”
Mamdani’s DSA allies pointed to its very own “volunteer army” for helping to push the socialist’s potentially budget-busting agenda.
“Throughout the campaign, Zohran has said that NYC-DSA is his political home,” Gordillo said.

Mamdani, a proud DSA member whose campaign leaned heavily on far-left policies — including taxing the rich, will be the Big Apple’s first Muslim, first South Asian and first socialist mayor.
