Mamdani: Abolishing ICE is the most ‘acceptable’ part of DSA platform to ‘mainstream America’
He said DSA members share a focus on working-class issues and pointed to progressive midterm wins as evidence the group still has broad appeal.
- On Sunday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani sat down with Fox News host Shannon Bream to discuss his socialist views and Democratic Socialists of America platform, surprising Bream with his specific policy positions.
- Following high-profile midterm wins for progressive candidates last week, Bream asked Mamdani to address critics of the left's growing influence on the Democratic Party and which specific goals mainstream America might embrace.
- When Bream pressed on specific DSA platform items, Mamdani rejected abolishing the Senate, Supreme Court, prisons, and borders, though he identified 'abolishing ICE' as the platform item most 'acceptable' to mainstream America.
- Responding to Bream's questioning about internal party divisions, Mamdani said DSA members are united by a belief in the 'dignity of working-class people' and meaningful democratic work beyond the ballot box.
- For the 2028 election cycle, the New York City Mayor is reportedly positioning himself as a 'progressive kingmaker' to mobilize the left, as he is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president himself.
