House Majority Leader Steve Scalise suggested Wednesday that socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is behind the Democrats’ decision to keep the federal government closed.
At a Capitol Hill news conference, Scalise said, “You really want to know who’s calling the shots in the Democrat Party? You saw it on the stage this past weekend. [Sen.] Bernie [Sanders] and [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] on the stage with the new leader of the Democratic Party, Mamdani.”
“Maybe Chuck Schumer’s waiting for Mamdani to let him know when he can open the government back up again,” he added.

“Because they just need to show their radical base that they’re having a fight with Donald Trump! That’s all it’s been about from the beginning,” Scalise said.
