Mayor Zohran Mamdani is using his current political influence to support a group of democratic socialist candidates in New York's congressional and state primary elections.

市長 Zohran Mamdani 正利用他目前的政治影響力，支持一群在紐約國會與州級初選中參選的民主社會主義候選人。

Mayor Mamdani is working to create a legislative group that follows democratic socialist principles. To achieve this, he has endorsed candidates such as Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Avila Chevalier. His goal is to build a team of lawmakers with similar beliefs to help implement a plan focused on affordability. Furthermore, media personality Hasan Piker has emphasized that if these candidates win, it could signal a major shift toward socialism in the United States.

市長 Mamdani 正致力於建立一個遵循民主社會主義原則的立法小組。為了實現這一目標，他支持了如 Brad Lander、Claire Valdez 及 Darializa Avila Chevalier 等候選人。他的目標是建立一支擁有相似信念的立法者團隊，以協助執行一項側重於生活負擔能力的計劃。此外，媒體名人 Hasan Piker 強調，如果這些候選人獲勝，可能預示著美國將向社會主義發生重大轉向。

However, these choices have caused tension between the Mayor and the Democratic party leadership. For example, Representative Nydia Velázquez has questioned whether the Mayor can be trusted after he supported Claire Valdez. Additionally, reports suggest that the Mayor broke a previous agreement with Representative Adriano Espaillat. At the same time, his relationship with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) remains complicated. Although the DSA is growing, some members are unhappy with the Mayor's limited support for state candidates and his decisions regarding policing and the appointment of Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

然而，這些選擇導致市長與民主黨領導層之間產生緊張關係。例如，代表 Nydia Velázquez 在市長支持 Claire Valdez 後，質疑市長是否仍值得信任。此外，有報告指出市長違反了先前與代表 Adriano Espaillat 達成的協議。與此同時，他與美國民主社會主義者 (DSA) 的關係依然複雜。儘管 DSA 正在成長，但部分成員不滿市長對州級候選人的支持有限，以及他在警務和任命委員 Jessica Tisch 方面的決定。

There is a clear divide between those who want strict ideological purity and those who prefer practical governance. Candidates Valdez and Avila Chevalier want to abolish ICE and promote Palestinian rights, which matches the Mayor's values but upsets moderate politicians. Consequently, the Mayor has been careful in state-level races, only supporting open seats to avoid unnecessary conflicts with important legislative partners.

在追求嚴格意識形態純潔度的人與傾向務實治理的人之間，存在著明顯的分歧。候選人 Valdez 與 Avila Chevalier 想要廢除 ICE 並促進巴勒斯坦權利，這雖符合市長的價值觀，但令溫和派政治家感到不快。因此，市長在州級選舉中十分謹慎，僅支持空缺席位，以避免與重要的立法合作夥伴產生不必要的衝突。

As the primary elections begin, Mayor Mamdani continues to balance the needs of his socialist supporters with the practical challenges of running the city.

隨著初選開始，市長 Mamdani 繼續在社會主義支持者的需求，與治理城市的現實挑戰之間取得平衡。
