Mamdani doubles down on democratic socialism while insisting Wall Street, business leaders can work with him
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani is embracing his identity as a Democratic Socialist, arguing the movement represents a return to the Democratic Party’s New Deal roots even as he insists Wall Street and corporate leaders have nothing to fear from his administration.
In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times, Mamdani rejected the notion that his political label is a liability, instead characterizing Democratic Socialism as the modern embodiment of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s vision for the Democratic Party.
«So much of what makes me proud to be a Democrat is looking at what our party used to stand for. You think about the Four Freedoms, you think FDR, you think the New Deal,» Mamdani said. «Those are at the core of what our party’s identity is, and yet it feels like to experience it, you have to read about it. You can’t see it around you anymore. And that isn’t something that I’m willing to accept, and I know that many feel similarly.»

DE BLASIO DEFENDS SOCIALIST ‘INSURGENCY’ INSIDE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, SAYS TRUMP HAS BECOME ‘STATUS QUO’
The remarks come as Mamdani has emerged as one of the Democratic Party’s most prominent progressive voices following a string of successful endorsements of fellow Democratic Socialist candidates, who won their primary House races.
Even as he doubled down on Democratic Socialism, Mamdani insisted his administration welcomed private investment and collaboration with Wall Street, finance and real estate leaders, despite continuing to push for higher taxes on the city’s wealthiest residents.
«I think it’s important,» Mamdani said of the city’s relationship with private business leaders. «And what I have in common with leaders of those sectors — even amid disagreements, because I believe that we can raise taxes a little bit more on the wealthiest New Yorkers — what brings us together is both a belief in the city and a commitment to its continued vitality.»

FAR-LEFT SURGE: MAMDANI-BACKED CANDIDATES OUST DEM ESTABLISHMENT INCUMBENTS
Mamdani pointed to the recent announcement of American Express’ new headquarters at Two World Trade Center as evidence that major corporations continue investing in New York.
«These business leaders, they’re not just making decisions on the basis of dollars and cents; they’re also making decisions on the basis of investing in the city and in what the city represents,» he said.
The mayor also rejected the idea that Democratic Socialism is incompatible with economic growth after the interviewer remarked that he sounded in line with a «capitalist mayor.»
NYC MAYOR MAMDANI CALLS THREAT OF RICH PEOPLE LEAVING NYC OVER TAXES ‘IMAGINED’
«I will always celebrate continued investment in this city,» Mamdani said. «And I’ll also look to ensure that more and more New Yorkers can be a part of those benefits.»
But even as Mamdani boasts his support for corporate investments, an analysis by the Citizens Budget Commission found New York’s share of the nation’s millionaires fell from 12.7% in 2010 to 8.7% in 2022, the steepest decline of any state, costing an estimated $10.7 billion in personal income tax revenue in 2022 alone.
The report points to New York’s high taxes and declining competitiveness relative to states like Florida and Texas as factors behind its shrinking share of the nation’s millionaires.

Mamdani has made raising taxes on wealthy New Yorkers a centerpiece of his economic agenda, arguing the city’s highest earners and most profitable corporations should shoulder more of the cost of funding public services.

His interview comes as national Democrats debate the party’s future direction ahead of the 2028 presidential election. Mamdani argued that the victories of democratic socialist candidates signal that voters are embracing his vision for the party.
«For too long, it has felt like our party, the Democratic Party, the only answer we have is to say that we are not the Republican Party,» Mamdani said. «But we also have to have a vision of what comes after this administration.»

El Banco de Guatemala inaugura la exposición Patrimonio Artístico con 70 obras en el marco de la conmemoración de su 80 aniversario
El Banco de Guatemala inauguró la exposición Patrimonio Artístico con 70 obras de su pinacoteca institucional, una muestra abierta al público hasta el 7 de agosto en la Sala de Exposiciones “Carlos Mérida” que se inscribe en la conmemoración de los 80 años del banco central y en su histórica función de resguardo y difusión del arte nacional.
La exhibición puede visitarse de lunes a viernes, entre las 8:00 y las 16:00, y ofrece entrada gratuita. La apertura formal se realizó con la participación del presidente de la Junta Monetaria y del Banco de Guatemala, Álvaro González Ricci, acompañado por autoridades de la institución.
La muestra reúne piezas representativas de distintas etapas del arte guatemalteco. El recorrido abarca desde el regionalismo académico y las expresiones de la Generación del 40 hasta el posmodernismo y otras vertientes de la creación nacional.
El núcleo de la exposición está compuesto por obras pertenecientes a la Pinacoteca del banco central. A través de esa selección, los visitantes pueden acercarse a corrientes y lenguajes que marcaron el desarrollo de las artes visuales del país durante el siglo XX.
Entre los artistas mencionados en la presentación de la exhibición figuran Rodolfo Galeotti Torres, Rolando Ixquiac Xicará y otros autores vinculados a la consolidación de la expresión artística guatemalteca. El banco señaló que esta parte de su patrimonio ha sido resguardada, conservada y puesta en valor a lo largo del tiempo.
Durante la inauguración también fue develado el libro “Patrimonio Artístico del Banco de Guatemala: 200 Joyas de su Pinacoteca”. La publicación reúne una selección de las obras más representativas del acervo artístico de la institución.
González Ricci definió la iniciativa como una expresión del vínculo entre la entidad y la cultura. “Al celebrar 80 años de historia del Banco Central, reafirmamos que el legado también se expresa en su compromiso con la cultura. Como Banco de la Cultura, nos enorgullece resguardar este importante patrimonio artístico y, sobre todo, acercarlo a los guatemaltecos para que puedan conocerlo, apreciarlo y reconocer en estas obras una parte de nuestra historia e identidad”.
El historiador de arte Guillermo Monsanto también destacó, durante el acto inaugural, el valor de la Pinacoteca del Banco de Guatemala como referente para la conservación del arte nacional. Esa valoración se sumó al sentido institucional que la muestra adquiere dentro de la agenda cultural del año.
“Patrimonio Artístico del Banco de Guatemala” integra la programación de exposiciones que la institución desarrolla durante 2026 para acercar al público distintas manifestaciones artísticas y fortalecer el reconocimiento de la creación nacional. La muestra cobra un significado adicional por coincidir con el 80 aniversario del banco central.
La institución plantea esa conmemoración como un reconocimiento a ocho décadas de servicio al país, no solo en su condición de banco central, sino también en su trayectoria de apoyo a la cultura y de preservación del patrimonio artístico guatemalteco. Esa dimensión cultural fue reconocida desde 1967, cuando recibió el calificativo de “Banco de la Cultura”.
El origen de esa labor se remonta a 1966, año en que el Banco de Guatemala realizó su primera exposición formal con una muestra retrospectiva de Carlos Mérida. Desde entonces, la entidad ha promovido espacios para la difusión del arte, el reconocimiento de artistas nacionales y el acercamiento de la población a distintas expresiones culturales.
La actual exposición mantiene esa línea y consolida a la sala “Carlos Mérida” como un espacio de acceso público para vincular a los visitantes con obras de distintas épocas, estilos y autores. En ese marco, la selección presentada hasta el 7 de agosto expone una parte del patrimonio artístico que el banco central ha reunido y preservado como parte de su historia institucional.

The White House released a trove of election integrity documents Thursday night after President Donald Trump’s primetime address, posting files related to alleged voting system vulnerabilities, China’s alleged acquisition of U.S. voter data, a Michigan voter registration investigation and noncitizens on state voter rolls.
The documents, posted on a new White House election integrity page, are organized into four buckets and include intelligence assessments, FBI files, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency materials and Department of Homeland Security-related summaries covering issues ranging from election infrastructure cybersecurity to voter-registration database threats.
The release gives the public access to records the White House says support Trump’s renewed push for election reforms, including voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements.
MORE THAN A QUARTER-MILLION NONCITIZENS MAY BE REGISTERED TO VOTE IN 4 KEY STATES, DHS ALLEGES
The president claimed in his address that electronic voting machines are vulnerable and easily compromised. Fox News has not yet seen evidence supporting that claim and is not able to independently evaluate the accuracy of his statement.
«This vital information has for many years been covered up and hidden from you,» Trump said Thursday night during an address from the White House on election integrity. «But that all changes right now.»

The White House page lists the four document categories as «Vulnerabilities in Electronic Voting and Ballot-Counting Systems,» «China’s Acquisition and Exploitation of American Voter Data,» «Michigan Voter-Registration Investigation» and «Noncitizens on State Voter Rolls.» The page says the files span from January 2020 to June 2026.
Fox News Digital could not independently verify the contents of the documents.
In the section on voting systems, the White House says the documents include what it describes as previously classified intelligence assessments and other reports warning that U.S. adversaries could compromise election infrastructure, including voter registration databases, poll books and election websites.
A separate section includes White House claims that China acquired hundreds of millions of U.S. voter files, while another highlights FBI files tied to an alleged voter registration operation in Michigan.

«Those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information secret and hidden,» Trump claimed. «They did not disclose (it) to me as president or to anyone else.»
The final bucket focuses on what the White House describes as a DHS review that the White House claims identified noncitizens on state voter rolls.
The documents were posted to the White House website during the president’s speech Thursday night, and more updates, filings and findings are expected to drop, according to the new election integrity webpage.
«The documents we will release starting tonight have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Taskforce, a great group of people, along with the staff of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings we are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity,» Trump said during his speech Thursday.

The files were released as Trump has intensified his election integrity push ahead of the midterms, including calls for voter ID, proof-of-citizenship requirements and Senate passage of the SAVE Act.
Trump previously signed an executive order aimed at requiring proof of citizenship on federal voter registration forms, but federal judges have blocked key portions of the order while the House-passed SAVE Act remains stalled in the Senate.
«No trust, no greatness,» Trump told Americans Thursday.
