  <description>Zohran Mamdani, newly elected mayor of the Big Apple, is no ordinary socialist. The son of an African Marxist, he represents a new racialized Communism that could tear America apart... and presents a powerful alternative to the America First vision of unity and strength. Here to unpack the history and pave the way toward victory is Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and author of the new book Intifada on the Hudson: The Selling of Zohran Mamdani.
