Overview

• On his NewsNation show, Chris Cuomo declared the Democratic Party “dead” after his brother, Andrew Cuomo, lost the New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani.
• He blamed a surge of far-left policies for alienating moderate voters and pointed to lax immigration rules championed by figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
• Cuomo described Ocasio-Cortez as a “deranged form of Democrat” and highlighted a CNN poll showing 10% of Democrats view her as best representing the party’s values.
• He accused Democrats of “tacitly supporting extreme Islamism” and of abandoning traditional party values in favor of socialist candidates.
• The host’s comments follow a long-running rift with progressive leaders and his 2021 firing from CNN after aiding his brother during a sexual harassment investigation.
