In a bold move to shake up the Democratic Party, Rep. Ro Khanna-endorsed Rep. Ilhan Omar's ally, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi's challenger, and former White House staffer, Mohamed "Mo" Mamdani, is throwing his hat into the ring in New York's primary election. As Mamdani seeks to make a name for himself in the nation's most populous state, he's also aiming to send a message to the Democratic Party: it's time for a change.

Will his efforts pay off, and what does his candidacy say about the direction of the Democratic Party?
