How does New York come back from this?
Inexplicably, NYC Democrats have chosen Muslim socialist and Israel-hating Zohran Mamdani as their Mayoral candidate, a jihadi socialist who wants to globalize the intifada, globalize 9/11, and believes capitalism is a danger.
Where is the GOP and why do they have zero game in New York City?
I never thought I’d say it, but Mayor ERIC ADAMS is the only hope for New York City
The economic epicenter of the United States CANNOT be run by a Muslim Ugandan Communist like Zohran Mamdani
This impacts all of America.

Zohran Mamdani is too extreme for a city already on edge. I know many New Yorkers are scared right now. Scared about rent. Scared about crime. Scared about being pushed out of the only place they have ever called home.

Andrew Cuomo concedes as Zohran Mamdani wins NYC Democratic mayoral primary in stunning upset
By Craig McCarthy, Hannah Fierick, Matthew Fischetti and= Matt Troutman, NY Post, June 24, 2025
Dark-horse socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani staged a stunning upset Tuesday night by knocking off former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary.
“Tonight we made history,” Mamdani told supporters at his victory party after midnight. “In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it is done.’ My friends, we have done it. I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.”
The 33-year-old Queens assemblyman defied polls and expectations as he notched a likely insurmountable 7-point lead over Cuomo, the three-term governor who hoped to make a political comeback after resigning in disgrace in 2021.
“Tonight is his night. He deserved it, he won,” a seemingly shell-shocked Cuomo, 67, said as he conceded to Mamdani.
The first round of the ranked-choice voting contest had Mamdani ahead with 43.51% of votes, followed by Cuomo’s 36.42% and city Comptroller Brad Lander’s 11.31%, Board of Elections unofficial results show. Mamdani carried roughly 432,000 votes to Cuomo’s 362,000, the results show.
Cuomo conceded he lost the primary as he addressed his campaign’s watch party — and signaled he may not run in the November general election on an independent line, as widely assumed.
“Tonight was not our night,” Cuomo said, as he praised Mamdani’s grassroots campaign, which mobilized young, far-left voters with catchy campaign promises and slogans focusing on affordability.
“It’s affordability, stupid,” quipped longtime New York City political operative Kevin McCabe, in a reference to Bill Clinton, about the issue that decided the race.
A win by Mamdani is bound to have sweeping impacts beyond the Big Apple and signal the rising power of the Democrats’ progressive wing, especially over aging party stalwarts such as Cuomo.
His near-insurmountable lead hints he could be replicating what his backer and fellow progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did in 2018, as she ran as a charismatic outsider to topple entrenched Democrat Joe Crowley — only he did it across the whole city, a political veteran told The Post.
