"I think the thing we have to recognize about this guy is he may be evasive, he may be a socialist, President [Donald] Trump thinks he's a communist, but he is a big talent. And the striking thing about him is not only is he polished and articulate, but very disarming. He's got this ready smile, and he seems so easygoing and friendly and affable. I think it's hard for the labels put on him as an extremist to stick."
"When you start to examine his positions, there's a lot of the same old, same old that we've heard many times from the left, Hume said. You know, tax the rich, and free busses, and free this and free that. It hasn't worked out very well in the past. It probably wouldn't again. Still, Hume believes Mamdani is going to get the opportunity to implement those policies as boss of the Big Apple. At the moment, he looks like he's on a glide path to be the mayor, Hume said."
Zohran Mamdani appeared on Fox News and received praise from Brit Hume for his communication skills. Hume described Mamdani as evasive and socialist yet a big talent, polished, articulate, disarming, and affable with a ready smile that undermines extremist labels. Hume criticized Mamdani's policy positions as familiar left-wing proposals—tax the rich and free public services—and said such measures have not worked in the past and likely would not succeed. Hume predicted Mamdani is on a glide path to become New York City mayor and suggested Mamdani may get the chance to implement those policies.
