Zohran Mamdani will be the unlikeliest mayor in New York City history. A 34-year-old backbench state assemblyman and self-proclaimed democratic socialist, Mamdani ran on the promise of affordability and was declared the winner not long after polls closed tonight. On his path to victory, he thrilled young voters in a way that few Democrats have in years. But perhaps no one was more delighted by his election than President Donald Trump.

The Atlantic. Known BS.
When the funding for the state ends it’s Mamdani’s chance to shine on how well communism works.
Fire departments on full alert.
And now it's time for a bit of good news. Mamdani was born in Uganda. And it's too late for him to pretend otherwise.
So he's not eligible for the presidency.
Neither was Barak Obama and possibly not Kamala Harris as well. Kamala was born in the US to parents who were not US citizens at the time.
