(DCNF)—Longtime press secretary to Jill Biden, Michael LaRosa, said Monday that the Democratic Party’s association with far-left candidates like New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani could cost them critical ground in 2026.
In an appearance on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren,” LaRosa said he fears Mamdani could become a political liability for Democrats in swing districts. Chairman of the Conservative Political Action Conference Matt Schlapp said that the Democratic Party’s embrace of radical voices like Mamdani’s reflects the broader collapse of leadership in America’s major cities.
“I think Mamdani could be a major noose around our necks going into an election year. Because Republicans are going to tie every Democrat, no matter what district you’re from, no matter how conservative or moderate you are, to the party of Mamdani,” LaRosa said.
Schlapp said internal confusion exists within Democratic ranks, adding that party leaders have yet to fully endorse Mamdani, despite pressure from progressive activists.
WATCH:
“When you have the leaders of the Democratic Party still not endorsing this Mamdani… The point is that they haven’t even all endorsed him yet. In this idea, for this all-important midterm for the Democratic Party will embrace Marxism, so clearly, I think they see the downside,” Schlapp added.
Some top Democrats have stopped short of endorsing Mamdani, who secured the party’s nomination on June 24 in New York City’s mayoral race. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and New York State Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs have all declined to back him, with Jacobs citing strong disagreement with Mamdani’s stance on Israel.
Failed 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris offered a tepid endorsement of Mamdani, saying he should be “supported” as the party’s nominee but added that he’s “not the only star” in the Democratic Party. Mamdani has picked up endorsements from prominent Democrats, including New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
