New York State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani’s ascension to presumptive Democratic nominee in New York’s mayoral race has reinvigorated the conversation about which ideological faction of the Democratic Party should lead the way as it aims to rebuild.

Want to know how much Republicans are eager to turn Zohran Mamdani into the face of the Democratic Party? Look no further than two of the biggest names eyeing bids for New York governor next year.

Republican leaders hope the ascent of the NYC mayoral candidate, a democratic socialist, will help them paint the Democrats as a far-left party.

Mamdani, whose upset of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the primary has sent shockwaves through the state’s political establishment, could become the first New York City Mayor in history to have met his wife on Hinge. Now in the spotlight, this is who Rama Duwaji is.

"Rama isn't just my wife, she's an incredible artist who deserves to be known on her own terms," Mamdani wrote in a May Instagram post.
