Trump slings insults at Mamdani, other Democrats after NYC primary

Driving the news: "It's finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line," Trump said in a Truth Social post Wednesday.

• "We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous," the president said.
• Paired with a series of insults, Trump wrote that Mamdani has the backing of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and The Squad, and said that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) "is groveling over him."

Zoom in: In another post, Trump suggested "an idea for the Democrats to bring them back into 'play.'"

• He said the party should nominate Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) for president and Ocasio-Cortez for vice president.
• "Added together with our future Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and our Country is really SCREWED!" Trump wrote.
• Representatives for Mamdani, Ocasio-Cortez, Schumer and Crockett did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.

Between the lines: Notably absent from Trump's blasts Wednesday was New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who had corruption charges dismissed by the Trump administration last month.

Zoom out: Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded to Mamdani, a state assemblyman, on Tuesday night in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary.

• Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who endorsed Mamdani's campaign, was among those who congratulated him.
• The general election is on Nov. 4 and Mamdani will face the incumbent mayor Adams who is running as an independent.
