Mamdani’s Wife Starts Her Dirty Game

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, urged Big Apple voters Tuesday to throw their support behind DSA-backed congressional hopefuls Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier.

Gotham’s first lady posted a snap of her winking to her Instagram Stories Tuesday morning, holding an “I Voted” sticker and urging support for Valdez and Avila Chevalier in the Democratic primaries for New York’s 7th and 13th House Districts, respectively.

Duwaji, 28, notably didn’t mention ex-city comptroller and failed mayoral candidate Brad Lander, who is squaring off with incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman in New York’s 10th District.

Valdez, Avila Chevalier and Lander have all been endorsed by Mamdani as the democratic socialist mayor hopes to boost the lefty group’s ranks in Washington DC.

Avila Chevalier, a doctoral student and local organizer, has faced a firestorm over her long list of past inflammatory remarks on social media, including lashing out at Joe Biden and establishment Democrats, calling the US “a fucking disgrace” and blasting that Israel doesn’t exist.

Mamdani claimed earlier this week he hadn’t seen his DSA comrade’s comments before he opted to endorse her.

She has said she is “not interested in relitigating the politics of my tweets.”

The mayor’s endorsement has galvanized the party’s moderates, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Gov. Kathy Hochul jumping in to give Espaillat a boost.

Mamdani also ran afoul of longtime Rep. Nydia Velázquez when he backed Valdez to take over in New York’s 7th House District as the congresswoman retires.
