Zohran Mamdani has not yet been chosen, but Trump is already threatening him

Now it is finally clear: Zohran Mamdani is the democratic candidate for the mayoral election in New York, which takes place in November. The 33-year-old prevailed against the former governor Andrew Cuomo during the area code and is considered a clear favorite in the stronghold of the Democrats.

But Mamdani is still not mayor of the largest city in the United States. But Donald Trump and his Republican environment are already making a mood against him. The President is even obvious to Mamdani’s arrest. When a journalist asked him what would happen, Mamdani should block the work of the immigration authority, Trump said: “Well, then we will have to arrest him.”

Trump has attacked the young politician hard in the past few days, and now he is closing the gait once again. The US President does not shy away from spreading wrong information-for example, about Mamdani’s residence status. “Many people say he is illegal here,” said Trump. “We will take a close look at everything.”

Mamdani was born in Uganda in 1991, but came to the USA at the age of seven and has had American citizenship since 2018. Trump’s threats against him “would not only be an attack on our democracy, they will send a message to all New Yorkers who refuse to stay in the shade: If you are extremely important, they will target you,” Mamdani wrote on his social media channels.

Trump had previously insulted him as a “communist crazy”. “He looks terrible, his voice is scratchy and he is not very smart,” he continued. From republican circles there are already demands to deprive Mamdani citizenship because he supposedly concealed with terrorist organizations in his naturalization. The Democrat politician is Muslim and described Israel’s approach in the Gaza War as “genocide”.

Mamdani sees himself as a “democratic socialist” – and as “Trump’s worst nightmare”. With this slogan, he delighted numerous Democrats in New York in the pre -election campaign. And Trump’s choice of words suggests that the president also recognizes a danger in the democratic shooting star. After all, Mamdani primarily appeals to young voters and could develop into the identification figure that the Democrats need so urgently.
