Panic in NYC as failed rapper and socialist Zohran Mamdani emerges as front-runner in race for mayor

A failed rapper and Democratic socialist has emerged as the frontrunner in New York City's mayoral race.

Zohran Mamdani, 33, is going head to head with former New York City Governor Andrew Cuomo in trying to secure the Democratic primary nomination.

According to Polymarket, Mamdani pulled ahead to become the favorite on Monday, just one day ahead of the primary vote. The poll gives him a 61 percent chance of winning.

It is a marked shift from late May, when Cuomo still had a 91 percent chance of winning, according to the cryptocurrency betting market.

Mamdani is currently a three-term state assemblyman representing diverse corners of Queens, and has sparked outrage among Jewish communities for his pro-Palestinian stance.

But prior to his career in politics, he attempted to forge a rap career under the name Mr. Cardamom.

Extraordinary video of Mamdani rapping have since reemerged, showing bopping along in a music video without his shirt on.

In 2019, he revealed he was stepping back from performing in order to try his hand at politics, announcing: 'I'll be forever spicy but I'm taking a break from being a spice to answer the question of what happens when a B-list rapper runs for office.

'I spend each day at work coming up against the legacy of Albany's bankrupt policies. Our reps have turned family homes into investment properties while letting public housing fall into decay and disrepair,' he said.

'I'm running because, like 24% of my neighbors, I'm spending 50% of my income on rent. And yet, there is nothing preventing our landlords from refusing to renew our leases, evicting us w/o good cause, or even from increasing our rents beyond a conscionable amount.'

At the time, Mamdani wanted to guarantee housing for all New Yorkers 'regardless of ability to pay'

A failed rapper

What's a failed rapper?

Has a speech impediment, bad rhymer, can't remember the words, can actually sing and breaks into song?

It’s embarrassing that wacky, loony toons New Yawkers are even allowed around the polls on election day.

He has no clue that a million illegals having their rent paid by NYers has nothing to do with the high cost of rent.

A failed rapper? yes, that’s the ticket for governmental leadership. Only good can become of that. We surely don’t need a former businessman who knows economies, laws and how complicated bureaucracy works.

He is the true son of DiBlasio. He will pick up where the DiBlasio left off and destroy New York City in epic style. This guy is 33 years old and doesn’t have a clue about anything. Never had a real job has no real experience in life and yet he could be elected mayor of New York..

The last remaining rich people in New York will be looking for the exit ramp to get off and go somewhere else and take their money with them.

If you think New York City has been highly taxed, wait until this guy gets in office.

Such options! And who’s scared? If everyone’s scared of him, they won’t vote for this nutbar.

WILLIAM FEDERER explains how Muslims overtake cultures...
ISLAM: to submit
MUSLIMS: have submitted.

Muslim 3-Step Program:
* Religious - Immigrate to a country.
* Political - Increase in number.
* Militant - Eliminate those who oppose them.

Every American, Congressman, and Senator should listen to this short discussion by American Historian by WILLIAM FEDERER on Islam.

During the Q & A a student asked why legislators are so weak when it comes to condemning Islamic aggression.

FEDERER responded, “3 Things.”
1. They are ignorant about the history of Islam.
2. They are afraid of Islam aggression.
3. They are on the take.

What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur'an

It’s amazing what voter fraud, stupidity and idiocy can do.

Maybe aspiring rapper would be a better way to describe him.

Once upon a time it was some people’s worst fear that a Catholic would become president…🫠

Now I’ll be relieved if Cuomo wins…😬
