Democratic strategist Kevin Walling discusses how his party is grappling with New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy and more on ‘Fox Report.’

Mamdani, an outspoken critic of Israel, has both awkwardly defended activists’ use of “globalize the intifada” and has flat-out refused to condemn it on several occasions.

California progressives, who have long struggled for influence, hope to break through to mainstream voters by challenging the establishment and rejecting corporate spending.

At least Mamdani is constitutionally ineligible to run for president. While the recent track record for New York City mayors seeking the White House hasn’t been good, Michael Bloomberg was hampered by his late entry and Rudy Giuliani by bad strategy. Both could have made it further if they had campaigned differently.
