President Trump predicted that New York will \u201conly get worse\u201d after two socialist candidates backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> won Democratic congressional primaries in the Big Apple Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany Communists running in badly failing Blue States,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social. \u201cThe votes seem to have them doing quite well against each other. The bad news is that history has conclusively shown that the downtrodden States that they will soon be running will ONLY GET WORSE.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate post early Wednesday, Trump vowed: \u201cAmerica the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump spoke out after state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez<\/a> easily defeated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and \u2014 in the shock of the evening \u2014 former Mamdani campaign staffer Darializa Avila Chevalier<\/a> knocked off five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat, the leader of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.<\/p>\n

With Valdez and Chevalier running in heavily Democratic districts, Tuesday\u2019s primaries amounted<\/a> to a de facto general election, all but ensuring that the House of Representatives will have two more card-carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America in their midst when the 120th Congress convenes in January.<\/p>\n

Currently, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) are the only two DSA members in Congress.<\/p>\n

Valdez and Avila Chevalier both campaigned on an anti-Israel platform<\/a>, calling for a full divestment from Israeli companies and cutting off sales of US arms to its lone Middle Eastern ally.<\/p>\n

Valdez has also backed the seizure of property from landlords, while Chevalier has said she doesn\u2019t believe criminal illegal aliens should be deported while refusing to condemn the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack against Israel.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s DSA branch also enjoyed a good night in state legislative primaries, with seven of its eight endorsed candidates on course to win and raise their numbers in Albany to 14 from nine.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mamdani secured his reputation<\/a> as a kingmaker in city politics after former city Comptroller Brad Lander\u00a0 \u2014 another anti-Israel candidate \u2014 unseated Rep. Dan Goldman in New York\u2019s 10th Congressional District by a margin of two-to-one.<\/p>\n

Trump was happy to dance on the political grave of Goldman, the lead counsel for the president\u2019s first impeachment in 2019. <\/p>\n

\u201cWeak and pathetic Congressman Dan Goldman just lost, BIG!\u201d he wrote on Truth Social. \u201cI guess people didn\u2019t like him illegally targeting President TRUMP. In any event, this jerk is finally GONE!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Trump predicted that New York will \u201conly get worse\u201d after two socialist candidates backed by Mayor Zohran…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276526,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[858,2132,153,9,24,11,10,87,26534,7316,58,82],"class_list":["post-276525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-congress","tag-democrats","tag-donald-trump","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-politics","tag-primaries","tag-us-house-of-representatives","tag-us-news","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
