The national branch of the far-left Democratic Socialists of America hails Zohran Mamdani’s win as a victory for Palestine.

Mamdani is a longtime DSA member. He has said he joined the party due to its focus on the Palestinians.

“This election proves that Democratic Socialist ideas are popular and that organized people can defeat the power of big money. Zohran wasn’t afraid to say boldly what his voters and the majority of Americans believe: that Palestine should be free, and that the US shouldn’t be complicit in Israel’s genocide,” the national DSA says in a statement.

“We will continue to fight for a free Palestine,” the statement says.
