Reporter Asks Karoline Leavitt What Happens If NYC Elects Zoran Mamdani—Her Response Is Cold, Clear, and Brutal

It was a simple question.
But Karoline Leavitt didn’t give a simple answer.

Standing behind the White House podium, the youngest press secretary in modern American history was asked what the Trump administration would do if New York City were to elect State Assemblyman Zoran Mamdani to citywide office.

Her response?

“President Trump is ready to work with anyone—Republican or Democrat—who puts America first. But we will not legitimize radical activists disguised as public servants.”

WHO IS ZORAN MAMDANI—AND WHY THE WHITE HOUSE IS SOUNDING THE ALARM

Zoran Mamdani isn’t just another progressive.
He’s a self-described democratic socialist with ties to anti-police rhetoric, pro-BDS movements, and far-left policies that even moderate Democrats refuse to touch.

From advocating for decriminalizing fare evasion to promoting anti-Zionist platforms, Mamdani has positioned himself on the outer edges of the American political spectrum.
