Democrat mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani, who recently clinched the party’s nomination in New York City, is promoting a far-left agenda that Rudy Giuliani says mirrors the ideology of Karl Marx — and it’s raising serious alarm bells.
“Government retail-owned stores — I mean, that’s worse than some of the communist countries; price controls on everything. The list goes on and on,” Giuliani said during an appearance on Newsmax’s Saturday Report.
Giuliani also expressed outrage over Mamdani’s radical foreign policy stances. “He wants to erase [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu. That’d be secession. He tried to arrest a world leader. You can’t let him interfere with the foreign policy of the United States.”
Mamdani stunned the political world by defeating former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary, securing his place on the ballot for November’s general election.
The 33-year-old, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist who has served in the New York State Assembly since 2021, began his campaign as a political unknown, but gained traction with an ambitious platform aimed at reshaping city policy.
In the fall, Mamdani will compete against sitting Mayor Eric Adams, independent challenger Jim Walden, and Republican contender Curtis Sliwa.
“My inclination would be” that Curtis could beat Mamdani, said Giuliani.
“Those three men, whatever you think their failings are, they’re like Abraham Lincoln against” Mamdani, he told Newsmax.
