Socialist Democrat Zohran Mamdani is elected Mayor of New York. CBS News projected that the 34-year-old won 50.4% of the vote, compared to independent Andrew Cuomo’s 41.6% and Republican Curtis Sliwa’s 7%. More than 2 million people voted…
Mamdani – who describes himself as “Trump’s worst nightmare” – declared in his victory speech:
“This is not only how we stop Trump. It’s how we stop the next one. So Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: ‘Turn the volume up’.”
President Trump took to Truth Social to say:
“TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,’ according to Pollsters.”
A reminder of what Mamdani has proposed:
Trump has threatened to withhold all but the most limited federal funding to the city if Mamdani wins. Good luck New Yorkers…
Robert Jenrick told a rally on Monday:
“They say Chancellors are either undertakers or bookies. This one is an ostrich – and when the Chancellor buries his head in the sand, the rest of us, we’re left staring at his you know what.”
