EXCERPT:
Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio defended the rise of far-left socialists inside the Democratic Party on Monday, saying the party needs the kind of “insurgency” represented by figures such as radical NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
De Blasio made the comments during an appearance on “America’s Newsroom,” where he argued that voters rejected the Democratic establishment in 2024 because they viewed the party as part of a failed status quo.
“We needed a change because [of] what happened in 2024,” de Blasio said.
“People saw the Democratic Party [as] part of the status quo that they did not like,” he added.
