'How dare she...': Mamdani's wife faces backlash over 'ditching' America 250 for Islamic retreat

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's wife, Rama Duwaji, is facing criticism after reports claimed she traveled to Spain for an Islamic spiritual wellness retreat during the week of America's 250th anniversary celebrations. The trip drew political attention because it coincided with Fourth of July celebrations in the United States. Photos allegedly showing Duwaji at Newark Liberty International Airport were shared on X by conservative commentator and comedian Arynne Wexler, who criticized the overseas trip and made additional claims about Duwaji on social media.
