<p>Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) issued a dire warning to New Yorkers ahead of the imminent mayoral election, saying that things were likely to get much worse if they elect self-described democratic socialist assemblyman Zohran Mamdani to fill the office.</p>
<p>Cruz, during the most recent episode of &#8220;Verdict,&#8221; told cohost Ben Ferguson that he could foresee several different potential outcomes that might result from Mamdani&#8217;s election — and none of them were good for the people of the Big Apple.</p>
<p>&#8220;Look, Comrade Mamdani is apparently the future of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is now explicitly, openly, unapologetically communist and unapologetically jihadist,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;This guy is so extreme, and yet the Democrats in New York don&#8217;t seem to care &#8230; Yet, given the choice between a solidly left-wing democrat and a full-on communist and I believe America hating jihadist. It sure looks like I hope these polls are wrong, and maybe a burst of sanity will pull us back.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cruz followed his opening salvo with a defense of his assessment, saying that he was drawing from Mamdani&#8217;s own previous statements to make his determinations: &#8220;When I call him a communist jihadist, I call him a communist because he&#8217;s called for, among other things, seizing the means of production, which is the very essence of the economic core of communism.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;People are going to die if and when Comrade Mamdani is elected, that is going to be the concept,&#8221; Cruz continued.</p>
<p>He went on to say that there would be some who saw benefits from Mamdani&#8217;s election — but the average citizens of New York City would not be among them.</p>
<p>&#8220;If comrade Mamdani is elected, I&#8217;m going to make a nomination right now, which is a year from now, I want to name him the Conservative Party of New York Man of the Year, because Comrade Mamdani is going to make more people join the conservative party in New York than anyone has in history, as they realize these people are nuts,&#8221; Cruz explained.</p>
<p>He then added that the only businesses likely to thrive under the weight of communist leadership were the companies that helped people move away, out of their reach.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not only is he going to drive New Yorkers to join the Republican Party and the Conservative Party, but he is going to result, he is going to rent more U-Hauls than the very best Willy Loman salesman that has ever been in U-Haul of people moving from New York and coming to Texas and coming to Florida, and anyone with any sense is going to get out of this,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Critics have long been warning that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spin-cycle-how-do-you-solve-a-problem-like-mamdani" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mamdani&#8217;s plan</a> to tax the rich and tax corporations that do business in New York — even if they don&#8217;t have offices there — was likely to send everyone who could afford to move running for the hills.</p>
