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.

Yes, tempting as it may be …
Some of the down ballot votes went for dems by 80% and 90%. One is at 95.8%. Not that anything shady is going on. https://www.fox5ny.com/election/live-2025-nyc-election-results
The Terrorists Have Won!
For all the people opposing him, they couldn’t get out and vote?
And we’re supposed to believe that he actually *won* the election????
If the globalists want someone in, they’ll make sure it happens by hook or by crook.
Well, let’s see how much everybody loves him that voted for him when they find out they ain’t getting shit.
Not much of a shockwave. He was wired to win all long. Disappointing though, I guess 9/11 wasn’t enough for NYC to learn its lesson.
Yeats: “The best lack all conviction while the worst, are filled with a passionate intensity.”
People are allowed to vote their own ruin.
Mamdani can do certain things. But some things are off-limits.
He cannot declare NYC to be a sanctuary city. Also, he will not be allowed to establish "no-go" zones in NYC.
With reporting from NY Post, it'll be easy to get Trump's attention.
“A plurality is not a mandate.”
Pluralities only matter if you are not a ruling class puppet. For leftists, having the power is all that matters. It will be exercised every bit as far as it can possibly be exercised.
I’m not surprised by any of this. The left was motivated, angry, and they are mean and crazy as hell. I WANTED them to be less hateful than they are, but we can’t wish normalcy on them, can we? It’s just sad, though.
“Within a year, will there be a Jew left in NYC?”
Yes. The political behavior of Jews is inexplicable. The last polls suggested that 40% of NY Jews were going to vote for an unabashed Jew-hater.
Yes. Mamdani cannot actively obstruct federal immigration authorities, but he gets to implement all the rest of his socialist, anti-cop agenda.
true, but I still take my parents’ word over what some stranger at a podium says, but maybe that’s just me...
I suspect it won’t be long before we hear he was really “born” in Hawaii and moved to Uganda as an infant....sort of like someone who came from a different African country !!
It starts in the home and then goes to the (lack of) education system. You will never go wrong underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
Too many NYC residents have been obnoxious, ignorant assholes forever - decades ago, I saw videos of them bocking ambiances and giving them the bird because they couldn’t be bothered to make way to possibly save someone’s life...
Nobody can argue that fact
When things start to disappear the democrats will say it’s only a magic act.
