Rep. Jamie Raskin compares NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to Franklin Delano Roosevelt in a campaign video, calling him a democratic socialist.
Progressive Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., is comparing New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to one of the most significant American presidents of the 20th century.
Raskin posted a video paid for by his congressional campaign that compared Mamdani to Franklin Delano Roosevelt late on Tuesday afternoon, as voting is well underway for the Big Apple’s next mayor.
„They’ve been able to scare a lot of people with, ‘Oh, he’s a socialist.‘ He’s a Democratic socialist. He’s an FDR Democrat“, Raskin said in the video, which shows him standing alongside Mamdani.
