NYC DSA takes credit for Zohran Mamdani’s primary win as mayoral hopeful stays mum on group’s radical views

Excited members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are boasting about their unique approach that has propelled Zohran Mamdani to a leading position in the race for New York City mayor. As his candidacy gains traction, he has increasingly avoided indicating his stance on their more extreme proposals.

The DSA’s New York chapter rapidly mobilized its considerable organizational resources during the Democratic primary, enlisting 50,000 volunteers to elevate Mamdani from a lesser-known contender to the landslide nominee for the party, as highlighted in a recent report by The Nation.

The vast volunteer initiative—boasting over 1.6 million door knocks and 2.3 million phone calls—focused on grassroots mobilization and engagement, a strategy that one local DSA representative referred to as their “special sauce.”

This massive volunteer force stood in stark contrast to former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s traditional campaign approach, which reportedly included paid canvassers who expressed support for Mamdani.

“We don’t keep the skills necessary to run a campaign exclusive,” stated Grace Mausser, NYC DSA co-chair, to The Nation.

The DSA’s campaign home in on three specific demographics—leftist activists, tenants living in the city’s 1 million rent-stabilized homes, and the Muslim community—who resonate with Mamdani’s emphasis on policies directed at working-class citizens, according to the report.

While Mamdani’s viral social media presence often receives credit for his rapid ascent, The Nation’s report indicates that his success was significantly bolstered by the organizational strength of the NYC DSA.

The Queens assemblyman’s historical win in June was fueled not just by support from progressive-heavy Brooklyn enclaves, but also by unexpected gains among New Yorkers traditionally not aligned with Democratic socialism.

Nevertheless, as Mamdani seeks to retain his lead ahead of the November general election featuring multiple candidates, he has become increasingly reticent about openly rejecting various radical proposals advocated by the DSA.

Currently, the frontrunner has not clarified his position on the DSA’s controversial proposals, such as the removal of school safety officers, the release of individuals imprisoned for drug offenses and sex work, and extending voting rights and eligibility for local office to immigrants, which he has chosen not to address.

Mamdani’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this matter.
