NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani warned of a "withering faith" in democracy to deliver for working-class Americans in a new interview with Time Magazine.
"Democracy is not just under attack from authoritarianism from the outside," Mamdani told Time Magazine. "It’s also under attack from a withering faith on the inside of its ability to deliver on these material challenges in working-class people’s lives."
Mamdani, a democratic socialist, won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary and has previously called for city-run grocery stores and defunding the police.
Mamdani also spoke to Time about the Democratic Party's struggles.

"I think the most important thing is that people see themselves and their struggles in your campaign," he told Time.
He said the larger struggle for the Democratic Party was to make sure that they're "practicing a politics that is direct, a politics of no translation, a politics that when you read the policy commitment, you understand it, as how it applies to your life."
Time reported that Mamdani was still adjusting to his "new reality," as an emerging politician and potentially the next mayor of New York City.
"I already miss being outside," he told Time.
