Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old state lawmaker, who was set to become the city’s most liberal mayor in generations.
In a victory for the Democratic party’s progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani must now navigate the unending demands of America’s biggest city and deliver on ambitious — skeptics say unrealistic — campaign promises.
With the victory, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa. He will also become the city’s youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1.
I’m enjoying the unhinged rants I’m seeing from conservative social media. They’re not happy and it’s a fantastic read
both the DNC(old guard, DInos) and the gop donors were going in with the propaganda against madamni for months
Yes, but they aren’t the ones making incoherent social media rants rn.
Hell even my local republican congressman got on the unhinged rant train. Only words he missed on the bingo card were 9/11 and communism
Really enjoyed the Daily Show’s quip about ushering in “a communist 9/11”, where every building takes a little damage.
What social media are you on where you see a bunch of right-wing diatribes…?
Basically any of my local news networks accounts and community pages/accounts.
Welcome to the south!
Even some leftists accounts I follow that are celebrating are getting brigaded by upset conservatives. Honestly it’s been good entertainment
