We\u2019re fortunate that Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda and is not eligible to run for President of the United States, because if he were eligible, he would 100 percent, in my opinion, be the nominee for 2028. Because he has all the cache, he has all the charisma, he has all the attention. He is where the Democratic Party electorate, in the primary, would, I think, be if he were eligible to run. We\u2019ll see if it translates to AOC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClay, I\u2019ll give you charisma, composure, talent, and smile but his ideas are some of the worst ideas,\u201d Kilmeade countered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWrong on everything, Brian!\u201d Travis answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWrong on absolutely everything, absolutely wrong. Not even gray area wrong,\u201d Kilmeade continued. \u201cTotally wrong. It\u2019s maybe good for Uganda, I don\u2019t know Uganda politics as much as I should.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, to parents of Indian descent. He and his family moved to South Africa and then the United States when he was a young child. He graduated from high school in New York City and attended college in Maine, and first entered politics in 2015 as a volunteer, per <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/article\/zohran-mamdani-nyc-mayor-polls-campaign-momentum.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intelligencer<\/a>. Mamdani is not eligible to run for the office of President of the United States because he was not born in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the above via Fox News.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>New: The Mediaite One-Sheet &#8220;Newsletter of Newsletters&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>Your daily summary and analysis of what the many, many media newsletters are saying and reporting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/subscribe\">Subscribe now!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has \u201ctotally wrong\u201d mayoral goals that are \u201cmaybe good for Uganda,\u201d Fox News\u2019 Brian Kilmeade, co-host of Fox &amp; Friends, said Monday.
