What an absolutely sickening night. Not only have Republicans won the governor races in Virginia and then New Jersey, it now appears that Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate will win the mayoral race in New York City. This race changes New York City in ways that people have not even considered yet. Decision Desk HQ called the race at 9:03 The Hill has also called the race: Mamdani wins New York City mayor’s race Zohran Mamdani has won the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Party’s future. Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, after a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams. Just awful. Robby Starbuck sees a silver lining here. Some people have suggested that a Mamdani win will be bad news for New York’s Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul, but even if that’s true, it does not change how absolutely terrible this is for New York City and the nation as a whole. The Bernie/AOC wing of the Democrat party will be enabled by this and will become much bolder and outspoken. They will spin this as a mandate and more Democrats will become even more radicalized. It was a bad night for the country.
