Candidates associated with socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani won multiple races, including against established incumbents like dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat, and one was elected to a seat where no incumbent was running. At the state level, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/peru-choosing-between-2-populist-candidates-in-presidential-run-offs\/\" title=\"Peru choosing between 2 populist ... in presidential run-offs\">socialist candidate<\/a> Aber Kawas also secured victory, sharing views that criticize capitalism, racism, and on issues like prison abolition, legalization of prostitution and drugs, and U.S. support for Israel.<\/p>\n<p>This election outcome aligns with predictions made by Charlie Kirk in 2020, who warned about growing socialist influence among young Americans. Kirk emphasized that many students advocate for socialism under the guise of promoting freedom, frequently enough based on mistrust of government, and criticized the education system for indoctrination. He noted that only a small percentage of millennials trust the government but support enlarging it, revealing misconceptions about socialism.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk&#8217;s critique extends to the rise of socialism in politics, especially among Millennials and younger voters, and warns of the potential consequences if socialist ideas continue to gain prominence. He also laments the decline in past knowledge about American founding principles, attributing it to educational and cultural shifts. The article underscores concerns about the direction of U.S. politics, emphasizing the importance of understanding history and the threats posed by socialist ideology to American values.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The sweep of socialist candidates in New York\u2019s primary election on Tuesday fulfills a warning Charlie Kirk gave in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Candidates backed by socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani swept their Democratic primary elections on Tuesday night, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >winning congressional races<\/a> against incumbent Reps. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nyc-coffee-shop-bans-pro-israel-house-democrat-refunds-supports-jewish-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dan Goldman<\/a> and Adriano Espaillat.<\/p>\n<p>A third Mamdani-backed candidate won the primary for a seat in which the incumbent congresswoman is not seeking re-election, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/06\/24\/mamdani-democrats-house-primary-lander-valdez-chevalier.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNBC<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>And at the state level, Democratic socialist Aber Kawas, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mamdani-backed-candidate-blamed-9-11-american-capitalism-racism-wins-democratic-primary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blamed<\/a> the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on \u201ccapitalism and racism, and white supremacy,\u201d also prevailed in her New York state senate primary.<\/p>\n<p>Darializa Avila Chevalier, who defeated Espaillat, wants to abolish prisons, legalize prostitution and drug use, abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and end any U.S. military support to Israel.

And in fact, I\u2019ve been wrongly accused of being an alarmist when I say that many young people are advocating for socialism. And it\u2019s growing quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd now I don\u2019t think people are challenging me on that anymore. But it\u2019s because I\u2019ve been seeing it brewing up on college campuses, and I\u2019ve seen kind of the clueless coalition of professors and students build an alliance to advocate for these horrendous ideas that will really wreak havoc on our country,\u201d Kirk added.<\/p>\n<p>He also predicted regarding socialist New York Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/aoc-quietly-takes-first-steps-toward-potential-2028-presidential-run-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>, \u201cI<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-driver-sucks-pro-golfer-blames-his-club-for-poor-play-club-manufacturer-fires-back-calls-his-comments-stupid\/\" title=\"\u2018The Driver Sucks\u2019: Pro Golfer Blames His Club For Poor Play, Club Manufacturer Fires Back, Calls His Comments \u2018Stupid\u2019\">\u2019ve told people<\/a> she\u2019s going to multiply in Congress.

And it\u2019s a very scary direction our country could take if we embrace people like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three Democratic socialists\u2019 wins in New York City on Tuesday prove Kirk\u2019s prediction true. \u00a0All three, from deep-blue districts, are almost certain to prevail in November.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk told me that two questions help dispel young people of the idea that they really want socialism in America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou ask the question to a student, \u2018Do you trust the government?\u2019 Traditionally, their answer will be, \u2018No, I don\u2019t trust the government. The government\u2019s horrible,\u2019\u201d Kirk said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou ask the next question, \u2018Then why do you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-restored-showerhead-freedom-next-fix-regulation-rules\/\" title=\"Trump Restored Showerhead Freedom, Next Fix Regulation Rules\">make government bigger<\/a>?\u2019 \u2018Well, I don\u2019t want to make government bigger,\u2019\u201d would be the normal response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen you\u2019re not a socialist,\u201d Kirk would inform the person. It twould take him about 15 seconds for the entire back-and-forth. \u201cThe entire premise should be about trust of government,\u201d Kirk emphasized. \u201cStudents don\u2019t like government. They don\u2019t like politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudents think they\u2019re advocating for freedom when they advocate for socialism. I know that might sound bizarre, but that\u2019s the messaging campaign that the Marxists have undertaken,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>I go into more depth about Kirk\u2019s views on socialism and how he saw Christianity as kryptonite to it in the newly released 2026 edition of my book, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0H6GH4VPN#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">We Hold These Truths<\/a>: The Two Beliefs That Still Hold the Power to Transform the Nation and the World.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">My new book, \u201cWe Hold These Truths: The Two Beliefs That Still Hold the Power to Transform the Nation and the World,\u201d is out, and it could not be more timely with <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/America250?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#America250<\/a> and the rise of socialism.
