Mamdani calls out Democratic Party as 'well-paid consultants and big money interests'

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani claimed on Tuesday to Rolling Stone Magazine that the Democratic Party has become something "run by well-paid consultants and big money interests."

During an interview, Mamdani was asked about a comment from former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Jaime Harrison after candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) defeated incumbent politicians in a primary election last month despite previously attacking the party.

"I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination.

Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
