Johnson said that the rise of self-described democratic socialist candidates within the Democratic Party represents "a serious threat to our whole system of government." He specifically referenced Zohran Mamdani and said: "There are many Mamdanis popping up, running for Congress around the country, and you better be very serious about this. This is a serious threat to our whole system of government." Johnson argued that socialism and communism are fundamentally incompatible with America's founding principles.
