Is Zohran Mamdani’s Victory a Progressive Coup to Oust the Democratic Establishment? Mamdani’s landslide victory over the establishment-backed Cuomo signals a potential rebellion within the Democratic Party. From his bold policies—like city-run grocery stores and free buses—to his controversial past, including Palestinian activism and defund-the-police tweets, Mamdani is polarizing. Is this a progressive insurgency akin to the MAGA takeover of the GOP? The hosts explore why Cuomo’s scandals and “Rose Garden” campaign failed, how Republicans are weaponizing Mamdani as a “communist lunatic” foil, and whether Democratic leaders like Schumer dropped the ball. With comparisons to Obama’s 2008 rise and fears from NYC’s Jewish community, this episode dives deep into what Mamdani’s win means for the party’s future and the 2026 midterms. Mosheh Oinounou joins the Tara Palmeri Show to discuss. How will Mamdani’s victory reshape American politics? Will it empower progressives or hand Republicans a weapon?
