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.

What makes you think our elections aren’t rigged?
NYC has RCV for a reason.
NYC deserves the communist. Everything will turn to shit.
Doesn't matter. The hard left controls, either directly or through electoral intimidation, the NYC city council. There is no way they are going to accept anything less than complete endorsement of whatever Mamdani proposes. Any Democrat who stands in their way will get bowled over.
On top of that, any Democrats on that council who aren't hard left will be trying to curry favor with him so he doesn't inflame his supporters against Jews. They'll give him whatever he wants economically as long as he doesn't play the anti-semitic trump card to inflame his supporters.
I imagine the lefties in NYC are going to be celebrating tonight like it is 1917.
October, 1917.
In Moscow.
But when reality eventually kicks in, most of those who voted for him are going to get it good and hard.
Shockwave, sure, but are you really shocked? Didn’t we know that this was coming?
They said the same about the Holocaust.
Obviously.
Within a year, will there be a Jew left in NYC? They really should return to to Israel. This is a pretty good sign it’s time.
Stunned?
Hell ... I expected this. New York, especially New York City, is an absolute cesspool inhabited by idiots.
What?
You don't like that?
Tough!
Quit voting like idiots, and I won't call you idiots.
Democrats and the greedy will always vote for whoever promises to give them the most free stuff.
The fact that the free stuff never arrives doesn’t ever seem to bother them.
The ones with the money and wherewithal will indeed GTFO, though.
It fairly proves those “man on the street” interviews by Alex Stein and Crowder were not carefully cherry picked in NYC.
The ones like they ask young people in their 20s who we fought in the revolutionary war or who is the VP. And about 3/4 of the people fail.
I’m sure many are still on YouTube.
Plus the New York Post will report on the mayor's activities in NYC.
When I was in the military from 82-86, under the great Ronald Reagan, we learned in basic training what to do to communists.
I think it’s time that the people learned that lesson as well.
They have voted for what they are getting so…
Let It Burn!!!!!!
We here in Los Angeles have a full blown communist running this city! I live in a suburb so there rules don’t apply. But still, we have newscum for gov.
Why “stuns” - wasn’t everybody expecting him to win given the huge lead in the polls?
What would have been stunning if Cuomo had pulled it off.
