Warren’s Radical Play in NYC
Senator Elizabeth Warren is pulling no punches. She’s giving a big thumbs-up to NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and his radical agenda. If you’ve been following the Bernie/AOC crowd, you’re not surprised.
Warren may not have shouted her true colors, but her actions say it all. The senator, known for backing progressive ideas, is cozying up to Mamdani’s bold, even destructive, proposals. In New York City, she’s been all about Mamdani’s pitch on “affordability.”

‘Talk about affordability’: Warren boosts Mamdani as model for Democratic victory
Elizabeth Warren doesn’t have a problem with Zohran Mamdani being the face of the Democrats. In fact, she wants the rest of the party to follow his example on affordability.
The progressive senator from Massachusetts swung by New York City on Monday to pay homage to Mamdani, who overwhelmingly won the Democratic nomination for mayor in June — but still hasn’t secured endorsements from many of New York’s party leaders.
“Come talk about affordability for families,” Warren said at an affordable childcare event, when asked to respond to the democratic socialist’s many detractors. “This is who Democrats fight for, and Zohran is on the front lines in that fight out there fighting for families.”
Asked if Mamdani is what the Democratic Party should look like, the senator responded with an emphatic and signature “you bet.”
It wasn’t long before Warren was in the hot seat. Earlier today, she squabbled with CNBC’s David Faber over Mamdani’s city plans. The debate was fiery and left no room for half-measures.
Check out what FOX News reported:
CNBC host David Faber battled Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., over raising taxes in New York City and Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s economic policy proposals on Monday in a fiery back and forth.
“You mentioned Mamdani and you are in New York sort of speaking on behalf of him to a certain extent,” Faber said on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street.” “New York does not operate in a vacuum. It competes with other cities. And so this idea of somehow raising taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers, who, by the way, would point out pay roughly 15 percent of their income right now between city and state. Raising taxes on them will simply drive them away.”
“Shouldn’t the focus of a mayor be on delivering services to the constituents of the city and doing that by raising the most revenue as possible without chasing businesses and the high-income taxpayers out of the city?” he asked. “Because they can go to Austin. They can go to Dallas. They can go to Atlanta. They can go to Nashville. This is your issue. It’s a national issue, not a local issue.”
Warren argued the issue was affordability and argued New Yorkers can’t afford groceries or housing in the city, as Faber agreed that affordability was a problem but pushed back and asked, “But raising taxes in order to do it – why is that the answer?”
“Oh dear, are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?” Warren mockingly responded.
The message is clear. When Warren backs this kind of radical policy, it spells tough times for New Yorkers. The senator’s support for Mamdani isn’t just a nod to affordability—it’s a leap toward a politically charged, socialist future. And if these proposals gain ground, traditional values and sound economic policy could take a backseat.
