Globalizing the intifada apparently begins in New York City.
In one of the most stunning upsets for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s unseating of Joseph Crowley in a 2018 primary battle, state Rep. Zohran Mamdani cruised to an apparent victory in the New York City mayoral primary, handily beating former governor and the presumptive favorite in the race, Andrew Cuomo.
While New York City uses ranked-choice voting and the results won’t be official until next week, Cuomo has already conceded the race with Mamdani ahead by a 43.5 percent to 36.4 percent margin. Given that most polls that had Mamdani winning still had Cuomo ahead in the first round, this means the former governor has no reasonable path forward in the primary, although the ranked-choice balloting will still go forward until a candidate has 50 percent.
“Tonight was not our night,” Cuomo said to supporters. “Tonight was Assemblyman Mamdani’s night.”
“Tonight, we made history,” Mamdani said at the outset of his victory speech. “In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it is done.’ My friends, we have done it.”
The speech was also full of references to “rejecting Donald Trump’s fascism” by standing up to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents doing their job, which is de rigueur for candidates of the left — although the radicalism of it was definitely turned up a notch.
The Democratic nomination doesn’t guarantee one the mayoralty. While there’s no practical challenge from the Republicans — who are running radio host and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa yet again — Cuomo can run again if he chooses to under his own party’s banner, and current Mayor Eric Adams is running as an independent.
However, the crushing nature of Cuomo’s underperformance cannot be overstated, and running in the fall risks only damaging his brand further, to the extent that it can still be damaged. As for Adams, a vote for him isn’t so much a vote for Eric Adams as it is a vote against Mamdani — easily the most poisonous politician the Democrats have put forward with a chance of winning major office — which is a strategy that didn’t work for the former governor and is unlikely to work for Adams.
While there’s a certain joy in watching the most loath-able politician of the COVID era give his “you won’t have Andy Cuomo to kick around anymore” speeches, this still leaves us with the fact that, 24 years after 9/11, one of America’s most Jewish big cities is about to elect a communist Muslim who hates Israel.
The Democratic Socialists of America-endorsed candidate not only wants to raise the minimum wage to $30-an-hour and create city-owned grocery stores, but he’s promised to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on an International Criminal Court warrant. Not only does the ICC have no jurisdiction in America, which is not a part of the bogus globalist institution, but that’s a neat trick if you want to divert law enforcement funds to a “Department of Community Safety” — Zohran’s version of “defund the police,” only given a different name.
