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:
- Rent freeze on stabilised units and expanding city-built housing. Limiting housing supply…
- Free city buses and universal child-care funded by taxes on the “wealthy” and businesses. A $10 billion tax-grab…
- Raising the city’s minimum wage to $30 by 2030. A business-wrecking idea…
- City-run grocery stores. Trump says, “extreme socialism”…
Trump has threatened to withhold all but the most limited federal funding to the city if Mamdani wins. Good luck New Yorkers…
