    Not a landslide but Mamdani has WON. They are calling it now.

    After 80% counted:

    Mamdani 50.6

    Cuomo 41.2

    Incredible. He has beaten both Cuomo and the tactical Republican voters who voted for Cuomo.

  5. 5

    NY Times just called it for Mamdani. Over two million voted, the first time more than two million have voted in a NY mayoral race since 1969. If Mandami can get over 50% it's a slam dunk.

    Mamdani win is being reported by RNZ.

    Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has defeated Andrew Cuomo to win New York City's mayoral race, US media is reporting.

    The 34-year-old democratic socialist had been facing off against 67-year-old Cuomo, the former governor who was running as an independent after losing to Mamdani in the primary.

    The campaign has laid bare the Democratic Party's generational and ideological divides as it seeks to rehabilitate its damaged brand.

    Turnout was high in New York – more than 2 million ballots including early voting had been cast just beofre polls closed, according to the board of elections, far exceeding the 1.1 million cast in the last mayoral race in 2021. It was the biggest turnout in a mayoral election since 1969.

    Stuff’s headline focusing on the born in Africa aspect.

    Good to know who can ggf. And Verity, how’s that they’re all the same going? Hope that at least got you a small pay bump!

    Great day for Democrats on several fronts.

    If Republicans keep up the shut-down they will get slaughtered in the mid terms.

    Democracy is still alive!

    What is the fascist fucktard Pres Trump planning? Another Insurrection?

    'We'll take care of it': Donald Trump's cryptic speech after Zohran Mamdani election win

    And again with the anti commy hate speech BS !?

    President Donald Trump says said the United States has lost "sovereignty" after New Yorkers elected leftist Zohran Mamdani as their next mayor.

    "We'll take care of it," Trump said without explaining what he meant, while claiming the country's largest city would become communist.

    In a speech in Miami a day after Mamdani's convincing victory, Trump added that the Florida city "will soon be the refuge for those fleeing communism in New York."

    Meanwhile Mamdani and Sanders, IMO the Dream Team !

    "If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him," Mamdani said in a victory speech late Tuesday.

        On another….this just one of the many frankly disgusting episodes of Pres Trumps fascism….

        Border patrol agent who shot Chicago woman boasted about it in text messages

        Records presented at the hearing showed that in a group Signal chat with other agents, which Exum described as a support group, he wrote in part: "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys."

        In a message to another recipient, Exum sent a news article about the event followed by the message: "Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes."
