Trump warns New York City faces dire future if ‘communist’ Mamdani takes office as mayor
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump is reiterating his claim that the Democratic Party’s nominee for mayor in the nation’s most populous city is a «communist.»
«If a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same,» the president argued this week as he spoke to reporters during a Cabinet meeting at the White House.
Trump was referring to Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic-socialist assemblyman from Queens whose convincing victory two weeks ago over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and nine other candidates in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary sent political shock waves across the country.
For Republicans, the strategy in reacting to Mamdani’s victory is clear-cut – relentlessly paint Mamdani – who took a big step toward becoming New York City’s first Muslim mayor – as an extremist and anchor him to Democrats across the country ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

For Democrats, it’s more complicated.
Mamdani surged to a primary victory thanks to an energetic campaign that put a major focus on affordability and New York City’s high cost of living.
He made smart use of social media platforms, including TikTok, as he engaged low-propensity voters. He proposed eliminating fares to ride New York City’s vast bus system, making CUNY (City University of New York) «tuition-free,» freezing rents on municipal housing, offering «free childcare» for children up to age 5, and setting up government-run grocery stores.

Thanks in part to the efforts of a massive grassroots army of volunteers, Mamdani rode a wave of support from younger and progressive voters to catapult into first place over Cuomo, who had been the primary frontrunner.
«I think it’s clear that voters are prioritizing action over inaction, and not just incremental change but broad sweeping change,» veteran Democratic strategist Joe Caiazzo told Fox News Digital, when asked about what Mamdani’s victory means for the party.

And Caiazzo, a veteran of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, said one reason for Mamdani’s victory was that he tirelessly met «voters where they are.»
But the Mamdani political earthquake seems to have exacerbated tensions between the party’s moderate and progressive wings. It’s also fueled the existing debate over whether the Democratic Party’s policy, or messaging, was to blame for last November’s election setbacks, when Democrats lost control of the White House and Senate, and failed to win back the House majority.
«Democrats continue to have a fissure in their own party, which has been made worse by Mamdani’s candidacy,» said Wayne Lesperance, a veteran political scientist and the president of New England College.
MAMDANI’S PROFESSOR FATHER CLAIMED HITLER INSPIRED BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN
In New York, top Democratic Party leaders, including Gov. Kathy Hochul, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have praised Mamdani’s campaign. And while they’ve defended him from Trump’s attacks, they have refrained, as of now, from endorsing the mayoral nominee.
Democratic strategist Lauren Hitt worked for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and served on the Biden-Harris 2024 presidential campaign. This year, she helped a super PAC boost Mamdani, and told Fox News that his primary victory was a «clear rejection of the old guard.»
Even Matt Bennett, executive vice president for the moderate Democratic-aligned group the Third Way, acknowledged that Mamdani «focused on affordability,» which he said is «great.»
Bennett added that Mamdani is «young, charismatic, a great communicator. All that is great. We want to see that.»
But Bennett told Fox News «the problem is he has the wrong prescription.»

Without a singular leader steering Democrats as the party works to escape the political wilderness, the internal debates will continue.
But Caiazzo cautioned «not to read too much into» what Mamdani’s victory means to the party as a whole, and argued that «Republicans are making too much out of this.»

Former GOP senator emerges from private sector with new mission: ‘Somebody has to step up’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Former Republican Sen. John E. Sununu of New Hampshire wants his old job back.
And on Wednesday, Sununu took a big first step towards returning to Capitol Hill as he announced his candidacy in the 2026 race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in New England’s only swing state.
Sununu, in a campaign launch video shared first nationally with Fox News Digital, said that nowadays «Congress just seems loud, dysfunctional, even angry,» and that he wants to «return to the Senate to help calm the waters.»
Sununu is a former three-term representative who defeated then-Gov. Shaheen in New Hampshire’s 2002 Senate election. But the senator lost to Shaheen in their 2008 rematch.

Shaheen announced earlier this year that she wouldn’t seek re-election in next year’s midterms and Republicans are working to flip the seat as they aim to not only defend but expand their Senate majority.
Now, after nearly two decades in the private sector, Sununu is ready to return to the Senate campaign trail in New England’s only swing state.
«Maybe you’re surprised that I’m running for the Senate again,» Sununu says to the camera in his video. «I’m a bit surprised myself. Why would anyone subject themselves to everything going on there right now. Well, somebody has to step up and lower the temperature. Somebody has to get things done.»
THUNE SPEAKS WITH SUNUNU ABOUT SENATE BID TO FLIP BLUE SEAT RED
Sununu is a brand name in New Hampshire politics. The former senator’s father, John H. Sununu, is a former governor who later served as chief of staff in then-President George H.W. Bush’s White House. And one of his younger brothers is former Gov. Chris Sununu, who won election and re-election to four two-year terms steering the Granite State.
But Sununu won’t have a glide path to the GOP nomination.
Former ambassador and former Sen. Scott Brown, who was elected and served three years in the Senate in neighboring Massachusetts, and who, as the 2014 GOP Senate nominee in New Hampshire, narrowly lost to Shaheen during her first re-election, jumped into the race in late June.
Former Sen. Scott Brown, who launched a Republican Senate campaign in New Hampshire in June, is interviewed by Fox News Digital, on July 4, 2025, in Exeter, N.H. (Paul Steinhauser/Fox News )
«Our campaign will have the necessary resources for the long haul, and allow me to campaign the only way I know how: relentless hard work and a focus on retail politics that Granite State voters expect,» Brown said after Fox News first reported that he hauled in roughly $1.2 million in fundraising the past three months.
Brown has repeatedly taken aim at Sununu the past month over the former senator’s lack of past support for President Donald Trump, who holds immense clout over the GOP.
TOP POLITICAL HANDICAPPER REVEALS DEMOCRATS CHANCES OF WINNING BACK THE SENATE MAJORITY
Sununu served as national co-chair on the 2016 Republican presidential campaign of then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who declined to support Trump as the party’s nominee.
And Sununu, along with then-Gov. Chris Sununu, endorsed former ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the 2024 New Hampshire Republican presidential primary, as she battled Trump for the nomination.
And on the eve of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, the former senator wrote an opinion piece titled «Donald Trump is a loser,» that ran in the New Hampshire Union Leader, the state’s largest daily newspaper.
Brown endorsed Trump ahead of his 2016 New Hampshire primary victory, which launched him toward the GOP presidential nomination and ultimately the White House. Brown later served as U.S. ambassador to New Zealand during Trump’s first term.

«Anyone who thinks that a never Trump, corporate lobbyist who hasn’t won an election in a quarter century will resonate with today’s GOP primary voters is living in a different universe. While John was supporting John Kasich in 2016, I was campaigning with Donald Trump,» Brown charged in a statement to Fox News.
And pointing to Sununu’s past decade and a half in the private sector, Brown argued that «while John was fighting for special interests, I was serving in the first Trump administration. While John was wooing the DC establishment this summer, I have been working with grassroots activists across the Granite State. Senate seats are earned, not handed down.»
TRUMP NOT ON BALLOT BUT FRONT-AND-CENTER IN 2025 ELECTIONS
Trump, whose endorsement in Republican primaries is extremely influential, has remained neutral to date.
But the president may be willing to overlook Sununu’s past jabs.
Earlier this year, when Chris Sununu flirted with a Senate bid after leaving office, Trump urged him to run.
The younger Sununu, who was Haley’s top supporter and surrogate in New Hampshire, repeatedly criticized Trump during the 2024 Republican presidential primaries.

Trump told reporters in April that he had met with the former governor in the Oval Office and that he’d «support him fully.»
«He’s been very nice to me over the last year or so,» Trump added. «I hope he runs. I think he’ll win that seat.»
FIRST ON FOX: SCOTT BROWN SHOWCASES HEALTHY WARCHEST
And a national Republican strategist familiar with the Senate race in New Hampshire told Fox News Digital last month, «President Trump appreciates winners and understands that John E. Sununu puts this race on the map for Republicans.»
As Fox News reported, Sununu met last month with Senate Majority Leader John Thune and former Sen. Cory Gardner, who served as chair of the Senate Leadership Fund, which is the top super PAC supporting Senate Republicans. National Republicans view Sununu as the strongest candidate to win back the seat in New Hampshire.

Four-term Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas, who launched his Senate campaign in early April, is the clear frontrunner for his party’s nomination.

While New Hampshire has for over a century held the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, its state primary, which will be held next September, is one of the last-in-the-nation.
While Republicans have had success in state elections — they control the governor’s office and both chambers of the state legislature — the GOP hasn’t won a Senate election in New Hampshire since 2010.

Cómo el estrés acelera el envejecimiento biológico: claves y consejos para revertirlo, según la ciencia
El estrés puede acelerar el proceso de envejecimiento biológico en personas de todas las edades. Esto ocurre cuando el organismo enfrenta situaciones que exceden sus recursos, lo que produce una sobrecarga que afecta tanto la salud física como la mental.
Distintos estudios científicos señalan que las marcas del estrés intenso en el cuerpo son visibles, pero reversibles si la causa desaparece. La relación entre el estrés y el envejecimiento despierta un interés especial en la actualidad, donde la expectativa de vida supera los 60 años en gran parte del mundo.
En ese sentido, expertos consultados por Psicología y Mente aseguraron que es esencial comprender la diferencia entre la edad cronológica y la edad biológica. La primera define el tiempo transcurrido desde el nacimiento de una persona.
En cambio, la edad biológica se refiere al estado real del organismo en comparación con ese tiempo. Este concepto incorpora la genética y los hábitos de vida. Un factor relevante es el estrés, que podría provocar que la edad biológica aumente y se distancie de la cronológica, acelerando así el envejecimiento.
De acuerdo con la información presentada por los especialistas, el estrés es una reacción natural frente a demandas que superan la capacidad de respuesta del individuo. El cuerpo y la mente activan este proceso para afrontar situaciones adversas.
Esta activación permite superar obstáculos, mejora la eficiencia y favorece la adaptación en ciertas circunstancias. Sin embargo, si la recuperación no se produce y el estrés persiste, el organismo sufre un desgaste significativo que afecta las funciones físicas y mentales.
Los síntomas del estrés afectan varios ámbitos de la salud. Entre los más habituales se encuentran dolores de cabeza, trastornos digestivos, rigidez en la mandíbula, fatiga y cansancio. Además, investigaciones recientes demuestran que el impacto no se limita a molestias puntuales, sino que también propicia un envejecimiento acelerado a nivel biológico.
Ciertos momentos de la vida, como una cirugía, una internación en la unidad de cuidados intensivos por una enfermedad como el COVID-19, o el embarazo, pueden generar un aumento medible en la edad biológica. Un trabajo publicado en la revista Cell Metabolism documentó que el incremento en la edad biológica, producido en estos escenarios, puede revertirse días o meses después cuando desaparece la causa del estrés.
En tanto, un estudio previo, también publicado en Cell Metabolism, demostró que incluso una sola noche de privación de sueño genera aumentos medibles en la edad biológica a través de marcadores epigenéticos e inmunológicos. Sin embargo, los investigadores comprobaron que estos efectos pueden revertirse completamente cuando se restablecen patrones normales de descanso.
En ese tono, la investigación dirigida por Jesse R. Poganik y su equipo, perteneciente al Departamento de Medicina del Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Facultad de Medicina de Harvard, examinó muestras de sangre en pacientes mayores que se sometieron a una intervención quirúrgica.
Según los datos obtenidos, la edad biológica mostró una notable elevación inmediatamente antes del procedimiento. Sin embargo, los valores regresaron a lo habitual entre cuatro y siete días después de la operación. El estudio también incluyó a personas hospitalizadas por COVID-19 y a mujeres gestantes. En ambos grupos, una vez finalizada la situación estresante, la edad biológica volvió a registros similares a los anteriores.
El patrón se observa con claridad: mientras el factor estresante está presente, la edad biológica aumenta. Cuando se elimina ese factor, el cuerpo puede recuperar su estado anterior. Este hallazgo genera optimismo, ya que indica que los efectos negativos del estrés sobre el envejecimiento no resultan definitivos en la mayoría de los casos.
De acuerdo con información recopilada en Psicología y Mente, la resiliencia psicológica cumple un rol fundamental en la protección frente a los daños del estrés. Las personas con mayor capacidad de adaptación a las dificultades experimentan menos aceleración en el envejecimiento biológico. Investigadores observaron que quienes regulan mejor sus emociones y mantienen autocontrol logran mayor resistencia a los efectos del estrés en el organismo.
La adopción de hábitos saludables también contribuye a reducir el impacto negativo del estrés sobre el proceso de envejecimiento. Según los especialistas citados por Psicología y Mente, una alimentación equilibrada, la actividad física regular, la abstinencia de tabaco y alcohol, y el cuidado emocional favorecen la prevención de enfermedades y fortalecen la capacidad de recuperación. Estas pautas ayudan a mantener durante más tiempo la autonomía y la calidad de vida.
La ciencia considera el envejecimiento como una acumulación de daños celulares y moleculares, un proceso que se acelera cuando el cuerpo se ve sometido de manera sostenida a situaciones que generan estrés. Este desgaste puede reducir la funcionalidad física y mental, aumentar el riesgo de enfermedades e, incluso, adelantar la aparición de dependencia.
Los resultados de las investigaciones recientes revelan la importancia de prestar atención a los signos de estrés y de buscar recuperarse en forma activa. Cuando las personas logran calmar los factores que les provocan sobrecarga, los indicadores biológicos mejoran y la “edad” del organismo desciende hasta alcanzar registros normales.
El conocimiento sobre la relación entre estrés y envejecimiento permite a individuos y comunidades actuar de manera informada. La salud integral requiere atención tanto en el plano físico como en el mental. La detección y la gestión efectiva del estrés, sumadas a la resiliencia y a estilos de vida saludables, constituyen las mejores estrategias para cuidar el cuerpo y mantener el bienestar a lo largo de los años.
El control del estrés, la adopción de hábitos sanos y el fortalecimiento emocional se imponen así como claves en la búsqueda de una vida larga y plena. La evidencia muestra que evitar el impacto negativo del estrés está al alcance de la mayoría si se asumen conductas de cuidado y prevención.

Speaker Johnson hit with Democrat-led lawsuit over delayed swearing-in amid House shutdown chaos
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The state of Arizona is suing Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., over the delayed swearing-in of Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz.
«Speaker Mike Johnson is actively stripping the people of Arizona of one of their seats in Congress and disenfranchising the voters of Arizona’s seventh Congressional district in the process,» Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, said in a statement.
«By blocking Adelita Grijalva from taking her rightful oath of office, he is subjecting Arizona’s seventh Congressional district to taxation without representation. I will not allow Arizonans to be silenced or treated as second-class citizens in their own democracy.»
Johnson dismissed the lawsuit as a bid to get «national publicity» in comments to reporters earlier this week and on Tuesday evening.
BATTLEGROUND REPUBLICANS HOLD THE LINE AS JOHNSON PRESSURES DEMS ON SHUTDOWN

«I think it’s patently absurd. We run the House. She has no jurisdiction. We’re following the precedent,» Johnson said in response to the state attorney general. «She’s looking for national publicity, apparently she’s gotten some of it, but good luck with that.»
Grijalva won a special election on Sept. 23 to replace her father, late Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., after he passed away from cancer at age 77.
Johnson has repeatedly said that Grijalva will be sworn into office when the House returns to its regular sessions. But it’s not clear when exactly that will be — the House GOP leader has threatened to keep his lawmakers out of Washington, D.C., until the ongoing government shutdown is over.
It’s a bid to pressure Senate Democrats, led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to agree to the GOP’s plan to fund the federal government through Nov. 21.
But Schumer and his allies have resisted thus far, sinking the Republican-led bill 11 times and keeping the shutdown going for 21 days.
House Democrats have accused Johnson of playing politics and depriving Arizona’s 7th Congressional District of representation in the process.
«Republicans on vacation for four weeks — and one of the consequences of that is that Republicans have refused, now for four consecutive weeks, to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, depriving hundreds of thousands of people in the state of Arizona of the representation that they deserve, particularly during this challenging moment in the country,» House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said during a press conference on Tuesday.

Johnson, in response to Democrats’ criticism, has repeatedly pointed out that the House was not in session when Grijalva won her election.
He’s also argued that he was following precedent set by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who waited 25 days to swear in Rep. Julia Letlow, R-La., in 2021.
Letlow had won a special election to replace her husband, Rep.-elect Luke Letlow, R-La., who died during the COVID-19 pandemic before he could be sworn into office in January 2021.
«We are not in legislative session. The chronology is important. Rep. Grijalva won her race, I think it was the last week of September, after we had already gone out of session. So I will administer the oath to her, I hope, on the first day we come back,» Johnson said.
58 HOUSE DEMS VOTE AGAINST RESOLUTION HONORING ‘LIFE AND LEGACY’ OF CHARLIE KIRK
«I’m willing and anxious to do that. In the meantime, instead of doing TikTok videos, she should be serving her constituents.»
Grijalva has argued she cannot perform her legislative or constituent duties without being sworn in first, which Johnson and Republicans have disputed.
But her swearing-in is also key to the ongoing battle over Jeffrey Epstein documents going on in the House.
Once made a member of Congress, Grijalva is expected to be the deciding signature on a measure aimed at forcing a House-wide vote on releasing Epstein documents in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) possession.

The measure, called a discharge petition, is designed to end-run House leaders on specific legislation — provided it has a majority of lawmakers’ signatures.
Johnson and House GOP leaders have called the measure superfluous and political, pointing to the chamber’s own ongoing investigation and procedures aimed at widening transparency into Epstein’s case.
However, the speaker has signaled he would not block the measure if it came to the House floor when Grijalva was sworn in.
Fox News Digital reached out to Johnson for a response but did not immediately hear back.
