Summary
Dave Portnoy said on "The Adam Carolla Show" that New York’s recent Democratic socialist gains have made a mayoral run feel like a real possibility, adding, "I could win."
3 Mamdani-backed candidates won New York Democratic House primaries on June 23, a result Portnoy cited as proof that socialist organizing is gaining ground in the city and beyond.
Portnoy argued low-turnout primaries give organized activists an edge over voters focused on work and family, calling the trend dangerous for New York’s entrepreneurial culture.
Zohran Mamdani has cast the victories as a national model, telling ABC News on June 28 that a Democratic socialist can win "anywhere across this country for any position."
