New York democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani visits Washington after his primary win, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez organizing breakfast, while Republicans frame him as the face of Democrats.

Now Adams could be replaced by radical socialist Zohran Mamdani, 33, the upstart Democratic nominee for mayor of New York, who is playing Bogie, to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Bacall.
