Socialist shockwave: Zohran Mamdani stuns NYC as voters hand power to Democrats’ far-left flank
Fox ^ | 11/4/2025 | Heavey

Posted on 11/04/2025 6:56:15 PM PST by Phoenix8

The Fox News Decision Desk has projected that New York City will elect Democratic Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani as its next mayor. The self-described democratic socialist toppled former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a contentious fight for the future of New York City — and possibly the direction of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani, the 34-year-old Ugandan-born state assemblyman from Queens, triggered a political earthquake when he declared victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary in June, pulling an upset over a former governor who was widely expected to win the party's nomination.

He has since been catapulted onto the national stage, teaming up with progressive power duo Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., to rally New York City voters for his affordability agenda, which includes ambitious campaign promises like rent freezes, fast and free buses, city-run grocery stores and free childcare.

It's a race that President Donald Trump himself has been watching closely, labeling Mamdani a "100% Communist Lunatic" and "My little communist" — monikers Mamdani has rejected. On the eve of Election Day, Trump endorsed Cuomo and floated cutting federal funds to New York City if Mamdani won.

Unless they are conservatives, they can just keep their butts up there. Socialists from NY are not welcome here in the South.

I don't consider myself the sharpest tool in the shed, but I have always been a seeker of truth and adherent of common sense and logic...

and I am just so baffled as to how many in my generation vote for these clowns with such fervor...how can they be so ignorant? Where are the parents?

There’s a sign at the Florida border on I-95 that says “No Vacancy”.

EVERYONE. Make sure any New Yucker who tries to escape is not welcome in your cities. They created the environment that allowed this terrorist bastard to become their mayor. They will do what Californians did the the entire PNW. This will” not stop in New Yuck.

If this was Detroit, people would say "no surprise".

Well, New York City has well been regressing to Detroit status.

No surprise. Commie vs. dumb and dumber. This was all planned,paid for and is only a continuation of something that is already in motion.

After 9/11, I would never believe it. I thought the slogan was “Never Forget.”

EAT THE RICH is literally the mindset. They promise free stuff and that gets the votes.

SNAP wasn’t funded. Republicans stand on principle in a street fight.

We have to band together and be strong about NOT BAILING OUT MAMDANI’S NEW YORK CITY when it soon runs aground.

One excuse I heard yesterday was “but the politicians with the GOP seats outstate would worry about Trump holding off too much funding.”

Too bad.

In Michigan they poured money down the drain to “save the city of Detroit.” Propped up the baseball, football and hockey area and the Detroit Institute of Arts but the rest is still deteriorating despite billions of dollars wasted.

Where are the parents?

70% of U.S. children live with two parents. In 1968, 85%. All the way back to 1950, it was 93%.

Same. Used to love visiting there since 1980.

Trump Tower needs to get the “hell outta Dodge” there.

“Where are the parents?”
They were brought up by commie school systems, not parents.
Brainwashing begins at a young age.
