In his victory speech Mamdani said he built a coalition for “Yemini bodega owners, Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers, Uzbek nurses, Trinidad line-cooks and Ethiopian aunties.” What about some Americans, Zohran?!
Not being a real American himself Mamdani wouldn’t know what real Americans look like even if some of them tried to run him over while enjoying one of his free bus rides on their way to buying groceries at an empty city-run supermarket.
Every aspect of life in NYC is about to swiftly deteriorate in the most dangerous way from public safety to religious intolerance. Islam has gained a major foothold in its jihad against America. Read on to see what a real “basket of deplorables” looks like.
Meet the people who will have Zohran Mamdani’s ear — and who he could owe favors to as NYC mayor
By Isabel Vincent, NY Post, Nov. 5, 2025:
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani surrounded himself with powerful interest groups and anti-Israel activists who helped him win — and who are now determined to keep him “accountable” and focused on their issues when he takes office in January.
“When you take money for people in politics, if you let them down, they’re going to come get you,” said political strategist Hank Sheinkopf of the incoming administration. “If he doesn’t deliver, they are going to remember.”
Here are the people who will have Mamdani’s ear — and who he could owe favors once sworn in as mayor.

Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour has been described as a mentor and friend to Mamdani. Last month, she was seen in a video telling CAIR conference attendees that she will hold him “accountable” and won’t let him “do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to City Hall.”
Sarsour, a former organizer of the 2017 Women’s March on Washington in 2017 to protest President Trump’s first term, left that organization amid allegations of antisemitism in 2019 — including when she excluded Jewish marchers, saying, “One cannot be a feminist and a Zionist at the same time.”
Radical Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour has vowed to make sure Zohran Mamdani is held “accountable” once he takes over the mayor’s office in January.
She announced in 2018 that Muslims shouldn’t humanize Israelis because they’re the enemy and has praised notorious Brooklyn Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Sarsour has also already lashed out against Mamdani signaling he could work with NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch: “I wasn’t really happy about the news that he was going to keep Tisch on for the NYPD.”
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and CAIR Action
ADVERTISEMENTThe Muslim civil rights group has “deep ties to terrorist organizations,” according to Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, who has demanded an investigation into the nonprofit — which was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a 2007 terrorist funding case that linked it to Hamas.
Political action committees connected to the group donated more than $140,000 to Mamdani’s PAC.
And CAIR Action, an advocacy group led by former CAIR California executive director Basim Elkarra, helped to mobilize the Muslim vote to steer Mamdani to victory during June’s Democratic primary.
In a 2013 social media post, Elkarra, an anti-Israel activist, supported terrorist Rasmea Yousef Odeh. A military operative with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a terrorist group, Odeh was convicted for the murder of two university students in a Jerusalem supermarket in 1969 and deported from the US in 2017 after lying on her citizenship application.
Democratic Socialists of America
Mamdani has been a member of the DSA since 2017. The radical group’s leadership, whose backing was instrumental in the rise of New York City Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2018, unendorsed her last year because they felt she was not sufficiently critical of Israel.
Its international wing has called for lifting travel restrictions on North Korea and condemned President Trump’s brokered ceasefire in Gaza last month.

As The Post reported in August, key proposals spelled out in the NYC-DSA’s agenda include calls for the decriminalization of all drugs, sex work and petty crimes, such as trespassing, disorderly conduct and fare jumping.
At the time, Mamdani’s campaign said on background that the NYPD will enforce all misdemeanor crimes if he’s elected, but refused to respond on other issues.
Mamdani appeared alongside union leadership last month, pledging $12 million to hire 1,000 new teachers a year and providing $12,000 in tuition assistance to prospective teachers in exchange for a commitment to work in the city’s schools for three years.
The increase in teachers is necessary after the union backed a controversial state law to reduce class sizes by the 2027-28 school year.
