Just one year into President Trump's historic second term, the radical left is already mobilizing their socialist foot soldiers for the next election cycle. Democratic Socialist New York Assemblymember Claire Valdez has mounted a bid for the U.S. House of Representatives, backed by NYC's far-left Mayor Zohran Mamdani and radical union boss Shawn Fain.
Valdez, who launched her campaign for CD-7 (Nydia Velazquez's seat) just yesterday, isn't hiding her extremist agenda. When asked by reporters if she'd continue campaigning without the Democratic Socialists of America endorsement, her response was crystal clear: "I run with our movement, or I don't run at all."
This is exactly the kind of radical ideology that Trump and the MAGA movement decisively rejected in 2024, yet these socialist activists are doubling down on their America-last agenda.

The endorsement lineup reads like a who's who of America's most radical leftists. Mayor Mamdani, who has already begun transforming New York City with his socialist policies, is throwing his full weight behind Valdez. Joining him is United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain, the union boss who has consistently put woke politics above American workers' interests.
According to social media reports, both men will appear at a Valdez campaign event in Bushwick today, signaling this isn't just a local race but part of a coordinated national socialist movement.
"Later today, @NYCMayor Mamdani and @UAW president Shawn Fain to endorse Assemblymember @claireforny for CD-7," reported one political observer on social media.
While President Trump works to restore American greatness through his America First agenda, these radical socialists are organizing to undermine everything patriotic Americans voted for. Valdez's "movement or nothing" mentality perfectly encapsulates the uncompromising extremism of today's Democratic Party.
The question facing Brooklyn and Queens voters is simple: Will they stand with Trump's vision of American prosperity, or will they send another radical socialist to Washington to obstruct the MAGA agenda? Patriots nationwide better pay attention – this is just the beginning of the left's 2026 offensive.
