“The View” co-host Ana Navarro issued a warning to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday after several socialist candidates swept the Democratic establishment in Tuesday’s primaries.

Navarro called New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani a “ruthless tactician” who wants more people with his ideological bent elected to office. Mamdani backed three congressional candidates who all won their elections over Democratic establishment candidates on Tuesday.

All three candidates, Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier, ran on platforms broadly aligned with Mamdani’s socialist economic agenda, anti-Israel posture and opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement while facing candidates backed by the establishment wing of the party.

“And the other thing that from last night is, to quote my friend Whoopi Goldberg, I would say to Chuck Schumer, ‘Dude, you‘re in danger.’ Because this, I think, puts a lot of wind in the sails of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to challenge him,” Navarro said during an appearance on CNN’s “Newsnight.”

Navarro spoke about the elections again on Thursday during the “Behind the Table” podcast.

“I will tell you, the person I think needs to wake up and smell the gravlax is Chuck Schumer,” she said.

She said the election results make it more likely that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., would challenge Schumer.

“I think this makes it more likely, not less, what happened in New York, that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will challenge him in a Democratic primary for the New York U.S. Senate. I don’t discount Chuck Schumer. I think he is a very able politician, but I do think there is a generational thing going on as well, where a lot of the base wants to see younger people with a with more of a confrontational fight in them. And I think Chuck Schumer better cancel everything and do nothing but campaign for the next year and a half,” she continued.

Schumer’s office did not immediately return Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Schumer told the New York Post that the results of the primary showed a “a great united party.”

“We’re seeing tremendous energy from all different areas of our party. You’re seeing centrist energy in Virginia, Iowa, and NJ. Progressive energy in NYC,” Schumer told The Post. “We’re going to harness it all to win in November. Because all Democrats are united in the mission to take back the Senate and defeat Trump.”

“We’ve been very clear,” Jeffries said. “What brings us together is a focus on driving down the high cost of living, fixing our broken health care systems, and cleaning up corruption.”
