RIP NYC – Muslim Communist Zohran Mamdani Wins New York City Mayoral Race
What an absolutely sickening night.
Not only have Democrats won the governor races in Virginia and then New Jersey, it now appears that Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate will win the mayoral race in New York City.
This race changes New York City in ways that people have not even considered yet.

The Hill has also called the race:
Mamdani wins New York City mayor’s race
Zohran Mamdani has won the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Party’s future.
Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, after a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams.
Just awful.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani has WON the NYC Mayoral race, defeating Andrew Cuomo, per Decision Desk
NYC will now be under the rule of an Ugandan communist.
The only hope for the city now is people wake up and vote Republican after Mamdani bankrupts the place.

Robby Starbuck sees a silver lining here.
The bad news for good people in New York City is that Mamdani won but the good news for the rest of America is that Mamdani won. Why? He will:
• Define Dems as a communist party
• Teach the country a lesson about why socialism & communism suck, so we don’t try it nationally pic.twitter.com/btB7yMiyUU

Some people have suggested that a Mamdani win will be bad news for New York’s Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul, but even if that’s true, it does not change how absolutely terrible this is for New York City and the nation as a whole.
The Bernie/AOC wing of the Democrat party will be enabled by this and will become much bolder and outspoken. They will spin this as a mandate and more Democrats will become even more radicalized.
It was a bad night for the country.
