中期选举还有六周时间，唐纳德·特朗普总统却打乱了共和党反对民主党的核心竞选说辞之一——他在反复告诫选民警惕左翼社会主义和共产主义抬头的同时，却热情赞扬了纽约市市长扎赫兰·曼达尼。
“我希望他能成为一名出色的市长，他当然有潜力，潜力巨大，”特朗普周一在纽约市格雷西大厦与曼达尼会面后，拍着对方的背对记者说道。
两人在会面中讨论了生活成本和住房问题，但这一会面让部分正努力在中期选举中保住参众两院控制权的共和党人感到不满。
“这一切都是自作自受，偏离了竞选主题，毫无益处，”一位要求匿名以便畅所欲言的共和党战略家告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“在这些选情比本应有的情况更胶着、竞争更激烈的州，所有候选人都不会从这件事上得到任何帮助。”

另一位同样要求匿名的共和党顾问则认为：“这位总统现在完全进入了自我放纵的阶段。他看起来并不真正在乎选举胜利，一切都不合时宜。”
不到两周前，特朗普在达拉斯举行的共和党首次中期选举大会上对共和党人表示，民主党正面临“共产主义接管”。
“在一个又一个州，民主党建制派被推翻，取而代之的是疯狂的疯子和激进分子。他们自称民主党社会主义者，但实际上，他们是共产主义者，”总统说道。

时间快进到周一，特朗普与曼达尼举行了自去年曼达尼当选以来的第三次会面，他是美国人口最多城市的首位社会主义者和首位穆斯林市长。
第三位要求匿名的共和党战略家认为：“看起来他一直在打乱竞选信息传递，先是说选举关乎左翼有多疯狂、关乎共产主义和社会主义，随后却又与他们同框谈笑风生。”
一位特朗普的顶级支持者迅速在社交媒体上抨击这次会面。
“我是一名铁杆特朗普支持者，但今天我感到士气低落，因为曼达尼是一个彻头彻尾的共产主义圣战分子。他是美国共产主义者的精神领袖，而在中期选举不到45天的今天，他与总统在纽约会面了，”右翼活动人士、MAGA运动支持者劳拉·卢默在社交媒体上写道。
卢默是一名网络红人，作为特朗普的亲信，她已经拥有了极具影响力的非正式地位，她强调：“这怎么能让特朗普最忠诚的支持者们好受呢？我们今天非常不高兴。我们被告知要‘对抗共产主义’。但当我们对抗共产主义时，我们看到共产主义者得到了嘉奖……选民基础今天非常愤怒。”

曾长期担任特朗普助手、如今担任总统首席外部顾问的亚历克斯·布鲁塞维茨在X平台上回击道：“我不理解那些对总统与纽约市长@ZohranKMamdani 保持友好关系感到不满的‘共和党人’。与你政见不同的人保持友好关系并没有错。事实上，这是健康且有益的！”
共和党人正面临执政党传统上会遇到的政治逆风，以及持续的通货膨胀、汽油和柴油价格飙升、民调显示极不受欢迎的伊朗战争，还有特朗普低迷的支持率所加剧的艰难政治环境。
为了扭转局面，共和党竞选纲领的关键部分旨在将通常的“对执政党公投”转变为“选择型选举”，将所有参选的民主党人描绘成极左翼激进分子。
虽然一些共和党战略家认为特朗普打乱了竞选信息传递，但其他人并不担心。

“我不认为这有什么大不了的，”资深共和党顾问戴夫·卡尼告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
卡尼表示，特朗普与曼达尼的会面“符合他作为总统的角色”，“这不是政治角色。联邦政府和总统与市政府必须通力合作。”
但卡尼同时指出中期选举 ballot 上的左翼民主党人：“这些其他持真正激进疯狂立场的候选人还没有当选。”

长期担任共和党战略家和沟通专家的瑞安·威廉姆斯在谈到特朗普时表示，这次会面“有可能让右翼一些人对特朗普赞扬曼达尼感到愤怒，但我认为这不会真正产生任何政治影响。”
“特朗普欣赏人才，不管你对曼达尼市长有什么看法，这家伙在政治上很有天赋，”威廉姆斯补充道。“我认为总统欣赏这一点。”

Six weeks before the midterms, President Donald Trump is complicating one of Republicans’ central campaign arguments against Democrats — warmly praising New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after repeatedly warning voters about the rise of socialism and communism on the left.
“I want him to be a great mayor, and he’s certainly got potential, got great potential,” Trump told reporters as he patted Mamdani on the back after the two leaders met Monday at New York City’s Gracie Mansion.
The meeting, where the two leaders discussed cost of living and housing issues, isn’t sitting well with some Republicans fighting to keep control of the House and Senate in the midterms.
“All of it is self-inflicted, off-message, not helpful,” a GOP strategist who asked to remain anonymous to speak freely told Fox News Digital. “None of these candidates out in these states, where these races are tighter and more competitive than they should be, are helped by any of this.”

President Donald Trump, left, and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani talk to reporters after meeting at Gracie Mansion, on Sept. 21, 2026.
Another Republican consultant, who also asked for anonymity, argued, “This is a president who is in a fully self-indulgent period. It doesn’t seem like he really cares about winning. It’s all off-key.”
Less than two weeks ago, Trump told Republicans gathered in Dallas at the GOP’s first-ever midterm convention that there is a “communist” takeover of the Democratic Party.
“In state after state, the Democrat establishment has been overthrown and replaced by crazed lunatics and radicals. They call themselves Democrat socialists, but actually, they’re communists,” the president said.

Fast-forward to Monday, and Trump held his third meeting with Mamdani since he won election last year as the first socialist and first Muslim mayor of the nation’s most populous city.
A third GOP strategist, who was also granted anonymity, argued, “It seems he keeps on stepping on the message, making the election about how crazy the left is and communists and socialists and then appearing with them and yukking it up.”
A top Trump supporter quickly took to social media to blast the encounter.
“I am a die hard Trump supporter and today I am feeling demoralized because Mamdani is a full blown communist jihadist. He is the spiritual leader of the communists in America and he met with the President today in NYC less than 45 days before the midterms,” right-wing activist and MAGA champion Laura Loomer argued on social media.
Loomer, an internet personality who has carved out an influential unofficial role as a Trump confidant, emphasized, “How is this supposed to make Trump’s most loyal supporters feel? We don’t feel very happy today. We were told to FIGHT communism. But when we fight communism, we see the communist get rewarded… The base is very angry today.”

Alex Bruesewitz, a longtime Trump aide who now serves as a leading outside adviser to the president, shot back on X, writing, “I don’t understand the “Republicans” who are upset about the President having a friendly relationship with the Mayor of New York @ZohranKMamdani. It’s not wrong to have friendly relationships with people you disagree with. In fact, it’s healthy and good for you!”
Republicans are fighting against traditional political headwinds facing the party in power and a rough political climate fueled by persistent inflation, surging gas and diesel prices, what polls show is a very unpopular war with Iran, and Trump’s underwater approval ratings.
To flip the script, a key part of the GOP playbook aims to turn what’s normally a referendum on the party in power into a choice election by painting all Democrats on the ballot as far-left radicals.
While some Republican strategists say Trump is stepping on the message, others are not concerned.

“I don’t think it’s that big a deal,” veteran GOP consultant Dave Carney told Fox News Digital.
Carney said that Trump’s meeting with Mamdani “goes with his role” as president, “and it’s not a political role. The federal government and the president and the city have to work together.”
But Carney, pointing to left-wing Democrats on the midterm ballot, said: “These other candidates out there who advocate these really radical crazy positions aren’t elected yet.”

Longtime Republican strategist and communicator Ryan Williams, referring to Trump, said the meeting “has the ability to make some on the right angry when he praises, Mamdani, but I don’t think it has really has any political implications.”
“Trump appreciates talent and whatever you think of Mayor Mamdani, the guy is politically talented,” Williams added. “I think the president appreciates that.”
