Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/a> opined that an election victory for Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani would benefit Republicans politically, while being bad for the city.<\/p>\n

He made the comment when retweeting a post on X by Elon Musk<\/a>, who asserted that Mamdani “is the future of the Democratic Party.”<\/p>\n

The conservative Sunshine State governor asserted that if Mamdani wins, he “will be the most prominent Democrat in America the day he takes office.”<\/p>\n

Voters nationwide will then have the opportunity to witness Mamdani’s<\/a> “leftist agenda in action and know that his path is the Democrat path nationally,” DeSantis wrote, characterizing that prospect as “good for Republicans,” but “bad for New York City.”<\/p>\n

Election Day is next week and early voting is already underway in the Big Apple’s<\/a> widely-watched contest, which has been the subject of national attention.<\/p>\n

Mamdani, who identifies as a “Democratic Socialist,” is advocating left-wing policies such as free bus rides, free child care and government-run grocery stores.<\/p>\n

“As Mayor, Zohran will immediately freeze the rent for all stabilized tenants, and use every available resource to build the housing New Yorkers need and bring down the rent,” his campaign site<\/a> states.<\/p>\n
