As we told you last night, socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani won the Democrat mayoral primary in New York City and Andrew Cuomo has conceded.
Good luck with this guy, NYC:

Bill Melugin has a few things that New Yorkers have voted for:
Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) ~ Some of the things socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has previously called for:
- Abolish NYPD
- Abolish prisons
- Abolish medical bills
- Abolish private health insurance
- Ban all guns
- Legalize sex work
- Safe injection sites
- End cash bail
- Decriminalize drug possession
- End sentencing enhancements
- End all cooperation with ICE
This brings us to the subject of the midterm congressional elections next year.
In 2026 the Democrats will be trying to pretend to not be insane, and Mamdani could throw a wrench in that effort:

During an interview with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on MSNBC this morning it became quite clear the Dems are going to do their best to try and avoid that.
Joe Scarborough asked Jeffries about Mamdani and he couldn't change the subject to Trump fast enough:
Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) ~ LMAO: Scarborough asks Hakeem Jeffries if Mamdani’s extreme ideology is a model for Democrat candidates in 2026.
Jeffries’ answer?
Orange Man Bad. 😂
