WOKE WOMAN: Far Left Sen. Warren Gushes Over NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani — As Other High-Profile Dems Stay Silent

Senator Elizabeth Warren offered strong backing Monday to socialist mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani, commending his unwavering commitment to tackling affordability and positioning him as a model for the Democratic Party’s future direction.

Appearing with Mamdani at the DC37 union headquarters, Warren lent her support to his proposal for universal childcare, saying he had launched an important policy conversation in exactly the right location.

“For me, New York City is the place to start the conversation for Democrats on how affordability is the central issue, the central reason to be a Democrat, and that delivering on it in meaningful, tangible ways that will touch working families is why we’re here,” Warren said.

“That is the Democratic message… Zohran is on the front lines in that fight out there, fighting for families.”

Warren’s endorsement arrives as Mamdani faces challenges in securing the support of other prominent Democratic leaders—especially from fellow New Yorkers like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Despite Mamdani’s surprise victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo in June’s Democratic mayoral primary, Schumer and Jeffries have refrained from publicly endorsing him, reflecting anxiety among centrists about embracing a socialist as the face of the party.

At Monday’s event, Mamdani, clearly energized by Warren’s support, hailed her as a “national champion” for affordable childcare, a key issue in his campaign platform.

His plan seeks to guarantee access to childcare for all New York City children from six weeks old through age five.

“After housing, childcare is the cost that is pushing New Yorkers out of these five boroughs,” he said. “There are estimates of childcare costing a single child $25,000 a year in New York City. That is more money than it would cost to send that same child to CUNY 18 years later. What does that say about our city?

“It’s a crisis, not just for families and their children, but also for the workers who take care of those children.”

Warren and Mamdani also share personal controversies related to their educational histories, which have drawn attention over the years.

Warren has long dealt with scrutiny—and mockery from Donald Trump, who nicknamed her “Pocahontas”—for identifying as Cherokee while teaching at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard.

Meanwhile, Mamdani recently faced backlash after it was revealed that he selected both “Asian” and “Black or African American” on his unsuccessful Columbia University application.

He was born in Uganda.

“Most college applications don’t have a box for Indian-Ugandans, so I checked multiple boxes trying to capture the fullness of my background,” the Queens lawmaker said.

Warren, who ran for the presidency in 2020, has also recently criticized Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams—both of whom are running as independents this November—for their relationships with wealthy donors.

“Cuomo and Adams are tripping over themselves to haul in millions of campaign dollars from billionaire donors,” she wrote in Rolling Stone.

“Mamdani has charged ahead with plans to make New York more affordable, and he’s showing how to pay for it by taxing the ultra-rich and giant corporations. That may not make him popular with the richest New Yorkers, but he’s willing to let Adams and Cuomo suck up to those guys.”
