Democrats have become radicalized

Ted Cruz predicts AOC presidential bid and Mamdani Senate run as Democrats lurch left

Sen. Ted Cruz says the Democratic Party's future belongs to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and he's warning that the country will pay for it.

Cruz laid out his case this week on Fox News and on his X account, pointing to fresh polling data and the party's leftward drift as evidence that Ocasio-Cortez will seek the presidency.

The Texas Republican framed both predictions not as idle speculation but as the logical result of a Democratic Party that has handed its energy, its money, and its direction to its most radical members.

The senator's second prediction was sharper and arguably more consequential. Cruz told Fox News that Mamdani, who was elected mayor of New York City in November, will be the next Democratic senator from New York.

He called Mamdani "the single most powerful Democrat in the country", a label that skips past every governor, every committee chair, and every party leader still clinging to the old guard.
