New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani wasted no time calling out President Donald Trump, formally kicking off the battle that will likely define relations between the 34-year-old mayor and the president whose celebrity is tied to the city.
"Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up!" Mamdani, a Democrat, said during a Tuesday night speech to a raucous crowd of supporters shortly after being declared the victor.

Wait until AOC wins statewide, either governor or senator.
I will say though, winning NYC and winning statewide are two completely different things.
The irony is, Mamdani may find his biggest enemy will be Hochul.
And therein lies the real battle, when Hochul and Mamdani butt heads, as they inevitably will, who will the DNC side with?
AOC would beat Schumer like a drum. If Hochul can win, AOC would win bigger. It’s coming.
Several big financial institutions have already began moving out. Dallas, Tx is their destination. Exxon/Mobil left NY a long time ago.
The young progressive, without a doubt.
Trump should ignore him. Do not give him oxygen.

I seriously doubt that, as despicable as Schumer may be.
Trump should ignore him. Do not give him oxygen.
Agreed. Like I said, Hochul is going to be Mamdani’s biggest problem, let them tear each other apart, and just stand on the sidelines.
Don’t be so sure of that.
Anyway, I’ve got my popcorn ready.
Sick Homan and 10,000 ICE agents on NYC.
The media is going to make him America’s Mayor and keep a microphone in front of him constantly.
The GOP lost all around the state yesterday, a true bloodbath even in red counties. The Dems are energized for their candidates.
The radical voters only care about The Revolution, not the issues, and not the qualifications of the candidates. This is “Triumph Of The Will”, stuff.
Better it happen now than next year.
At least any sense of complacency on the part of Trump and the GOP should be gone.
But unfortunately, I don’t see the GOP doing anything different than they’ve always done.
Bkmk
I know what my reply would be...

There’s a very good reason Albany is refusing to turn over SNAP data...
Agreed! AND, arguably, Mamdani is a gift from heaven for Republicans chances of winning and increasing the Republican Margins in the house.
