Be careful what you wish for. I’m not just referring to the enthusiastic Zohran Mamdani voters who believe that the failed rapper and nepo-baby is the person best suited to run this city. Nor am I referring to the fashionistas at Vanity Fair who this week swooned over Mamdani’s apparently “Kennedy-like charisma.”
I am referring to some Republicans who are starting to see a silver lining in the socialist’s Mayoral run.
Since Mamdami won the Democratic primary for Mayor in July it has been whispered in Republican circles that there may be a positive in Mamdani’s projected arrival in Gracie Mansion.
This week that whispering became public conversation.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview: “I kind of like Mamdani winning, because the worst thing in a way would be when [Andrew] Cuomo comes back in, you just keep losing a little bit of altitude for four or eight more years, and they kind of hold it together, and more people leave. So if you could just say, ‘OK he’s a shock to the system, and there’s a chance you can come back from it.’ ”
Conservative guru George Will has looked at things in a similar way. Speaking on Bill Maher recently, Will said of Mamdani: “I want him to win,” continuing, “Every twenty years of so we need a conspicuous, confined experiment with socialism so we can crack it up again.”
This week the Commander in Chief spun a similar line. Posting on Truth Social on Monday President Trump said: “Self-proclaimed New York City Communist Zohran Mamdani, who is running for Mayor, will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party.”
To which I would again reply, “Careful what you wish for.”
And I don’t just mean because some of us...

He’s the next Obama don’t ya know.
🎵He’s gonna spread happiness, gonna spread freedom, Mandani and AOC are gonna change the world. Mhhhhmmmhhhhmm🎤
Nobody in their right mind wants this psycho, but Cuomo would be the same without as much Anti-Jew rhetoric. Cuomo is the father of cashless bail, sanctuary cities, and defunding cops. He’s also a murderer of thousands of elderly people. Sliwa would be best but he ain’t winning.
If it weren’t for the risk to the US itself, I would wish Mamby wins New York. However, that is how caliphate get set up.
The Joker will be running Gotham City with no batman.
Ugh.
Nope, Trump is Batman
I’d like to know the age of the person at Vanity Fair who believes that Mamdani has ‘Kennedy like charisma’...
Why would I wish for a muslim socialist to win any office?
You can vote Socialism in, but you have to shoot it out. Islamists never give back what they took.
I’m not hoping Mamdani wins, but if he does, the ensuing disaster will be a major boost for Republicans in 2026. By 2028, elections will be about who can condemn communism the most.
He’s 46. A Brit.
“Douglas Murray is a British neoconservative political commentator, cultural critic, author, and journalist. He is currently an associate editor of the conservative British political and cultural magazine The Spectator, and has been a regular contributor to The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Sun, the Daily Mail, New York Post, National Review, The Free Press, and UnHerd.
His books include Neoconservatism: Why We Need It, The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam, The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity, The War on the West, and On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel, Hamas and the Future of the West.”
Never heard of him until just now...
You should have moved out a long time ago, jackass.
New York City could recover from four (or eight) years of a Cuomo administration. I don’t think it could recover from a Mamdani administration.
That would be a one-way journey. Kinda like with Chicago today.
I’m for Mandami.
Urban areas have become unsalvagable enemy strongholds, lost for good. Let the MFers starve and their infrastructure crumble and burn. All by their own hands.
“Oh but they’ll just move to my red state.”
Good. Contrary to the popular belief here, most of the producers - those with means -are the good ones. In fact they’ve turned Florida from purple to bright red... by a TWENTY PERCENT margin.
Urbanoid strongholds need to be crushed not saved.
JR, you are losing control of your website. This serial poster has hit FR on 4:55, 4:52, 4:47; 4:39, 4:30 AND EARLIER. None of the articles would have passed FR muster ten years ago. Mediocre to anti-Conservative values can be found on EPUnum’s postings. Might I suggest you limit an individuals postings to five daily. Quality over quantity, sir.
That surprises me - I’m a fan of Douglas Murray.
But I think he’s completely wrong about Mamdani’s ‘charisma’.
Mamdani is a lightweight ‘poseur’ compared with JFK.
I disagree. Leftist policies are a disaster. The coming doom spiral will cause the dumb masses to be screaming for “someone to do something”! Enter more “Democratic Socialism” , more government.
“There is nothing so permanent as a temporary government program. “
