New York City has elected black former policeman Eric Adams as mayor, making the Democrat the next leader of America's biggest city.

The result was called by Associated Press shortly after the polls closed at 9pm Eastern Time, with less than 30 per cent of the vote counted. Adams already had a 50 point lead, CNN reported.

The centrist Democrat trounced Republican rival and volunteer crime fighter Curtis Sliwa in the liberal-voting bastion to become just the second African American to lead the Big Apple.

Sliwa, who founded the vigilante group Guardian Angels, showed up to vote on Tuesday with his cat - one of 17 he owns.

He has made animal welfare a pillar of his campaign.

The cat was denied entry to the polling station, but a poll worker held the animal while Sliwa went inside.

Not a good comparison...Spain is overall an OLD country...

My gut tells me he’s another guy that’s bitten off way more than he can chew and we’ll soon see that.

Just to correct the record, Democratic cats are not permitted to vote until after they are dead.

Then New York is in even more trouble. Hard to believe after 9/11.

That means Each D cat bites at least nine times (since cats have nine lives)

Bracing here.
He starts in January. If he does enough damage early on...
Maybe we’ll elect a good Republican Governor in Nov. 2022

I hope so, too, my friend. My heart goes out to all the conservatives in New York and Jersey. Come down South! You would be very welcome here and help outnumber the Leftists creeps bringing their mess.
