The Scavengers are on the move. 
Scavengers are people who wish to tear down the society in which they live. They have very little in common with one another other than that simple fact. They simply want to tear down everything. That explains the bizarre agglomeration of radicals from across the political spectrum, who seem to gather together to rally against our civilization.
We saw a lot of that this past weekend. There was a march that took place to end Pride Month in Ireland, including a drag queen with a Palestinian flag. 
How do you put all that together? There are no openly gay people among Palestinians.
At the Toronto Pride parade, they flew Iranian flags. Remember, Iran is a place that hangs gay people from cranes. And yet there were people running around with flags reading “Freedom for Iran.”
And now there is the Omnicause flag. You remember the “rainbow pride” flag? Then we got the “pride progress flag” which had side arrows coming in and added white, pink, and blue. Then they added black and brown, because, of course, there are trans people who are black and brown. And then you had intersex people who were added as a yellow.
And now they&#8217;ve added on top of that a heart containing the Palestinian flag, because all the causes are one.
The Omnicause has finally come together. And that Omnicause is the Scavenger mentality. It&#8217;s all the people from the Jean-Paul-Sartre-Hatred-Of-Western-Civilization Left to the Queer Pride Left, who have decided that they are going to band together to destroy the civilization that we all share.
You could see that in action a little bit earlier over the weekend during the so-called Glastonbury Festival, when a member of the British rap punk duo Bob Vylan got up and started chanting “Death to the IDF” and suggesting that if you were a white Briton and you wanted your country back, “F***  off. You don&#8217;t get to get your country back.”
All of which brings us to Zohran Mamdani.

So for all of those who keep pretending that Mamdani is a normal Democrat who just has some progressive leanings, the hell he is.
He&#8217;s the Apex Predator of the Intersectional Scavenger Coalition. He is a person who&#8217;s perfectly comfortable talking about spending $65 million in New York City to trans the kids and also talking about “Free, free Palestine” and “Globalize the Intifada” and also how it is deeply important and deeply necessary to seize the means of production.
He&#8217;s not hiding the ball at all. He is a representative of a Left that has lost touch with reality and is now running specifically and solely in order to denigrate and destroy the civilization in which it lives. That is their goal. 
None of these pieces fit together unless you understand that they are all directed toward destroying everything, not building anything.
Over the weekend, Mamdani joined NBC’s Kristen Welker. He was asked about the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which he continues to seize upon and use.

Understand that the term “intifada” means a violent uprising. That is how the term was coined. It is a term for a violent uprising, particularly against Israel. “Globalizing the intifada” means that you want an extension of a violent uprising all across the West.
The retconning that you&#8217;re seeing now, where people say “intifada” just means a nice, gentle struggle, is the same con pulled in the early 2000s, when some Westerners said “jihad” only meant internal struggle.
Mamdani was asked why he won’t stop saying “globalize the intifada.” He then cited free speech.
He can do whatever he wants. It&#8217;s a free country. But the question is not whether he ought to be allowed to say “globalize the intifada” as an American citizen. He is. The question really is: Is it a good or moral thing to say? 
One of the last refuges of cowards these days is to pretend that your free speech is being violated when you are criticized for saying something bad.
Mamdani’s father, a professor at Columbia University, said in 2021, “The resistance this time began in Jerusalem and spread to Gaza, now the West Bank and Palestinian communities beyond. This is not a conflict between Israel and Hamas. We are witnessing something far more meaningful, the birth of the third Intifada against settler colonialism.” 
You can see exactly where Zohran Mamdani came from. He is a merger of pro-jihadi leftism, a sort of cultural Maoism, a communist vision of economics, and an anti-traditional-virtue version of social politics. All of those things are combined together in a witch&#8217;s brew of nastiness, designed against the civilization that has made him now a famous person and made his parents very wealthy, famous left-wingers.
He&#8217;s embracing Islam, socialism, “free, free Palestine,” and marching in Pride parades in the same way that Ilhan Omar has. You think that Ilhan Omar is very fond of Pride parades or Mamdani — if he really is a religious Muslim in any serious way— is?
What it really is about in the end, as always, is Scavengers who seek to tear things down.
That is what they want to do. 
In the most colloquial sense, the highly-educated, intelligent Democrats are being cuckolded by Mamdani because they&#8217;re watching their party being stolen from them by Zoran Mamdani and cheering it.
They&#8217;re sitting there and they&#8217;re watching and cheering it because, God forbid, they should have to stand up against Zoran Mamdani and his vicious agenda for even a smidgen of a moment and lose the support of the hard Left.
It’s all disgusting and repellent.

Zohran Mamdani

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt ripped into New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, the self-described &#8220;Democratic Socialist&#8221; who bested disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) in the Democratic primary.
Leavitt addressed the controversy surrounding Mamdani — which has even some Democrats worried about the optics of endorsing him — and made it clear that, in the White House&#8217;s opinion, Mamdani was just another manifestation of the Democratic Party&#8217;s efforts to undermine &#8220;the very fabric of our country.&#8221;

&#8220;The Democrats are doubling down on craziness and radical policies that are undermining the very fabric of our country,&#8221; she began. &#8220;Just look at the Democrat nominee for New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani He&#8217;s a Democrat Socialist — really a communist — who proudly calls to defund the police, peddles antisemitism, praises pro-Hamas groups, wants Israel abolished, and believes wealthy Americans should not exist.&#8221;
&#8220;Those are his words, just as recent as this weekend,&#8221; Leavitt continued, referencing Mamdani&#8217;s appearance on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press.&#8221; During that interview, in spite of the fact that host Kristen Welker gave him three opportunities to do so, Mamdani could not being himself to condemn the phrase &#8220;globalize the intifada&#8221; — a phrase that Welker correctly explained was a call to violence against Jewish people. Mamdani shrugged off the question, claiming that he did not think it was his place to &#8220;police&#8221; the language others might choose.
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-2388">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a>
Mamdani&#8217;s history of backing anti-Israel protests and the &#8220;Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions&#8221; (BDS) against Israel may be what has even some New York Democrats feeling squeamish about offering their endorsement.
Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spin-cycle-how-do-you-solve-a-problem-like-mamdani">Hakeem Jeffries</a> (D-NY), whose district is 11% Jewish, told ABC News host Jonathan Karl on &#8220;This Week&#8221; that he didn&#8217;t know Mamdani well enough to endorse him right away.
&#8220;Globalizing the Intifada, by way of example, is not an acceptable phrasing,&#8221; Jeffries explained. &#8220;He’s going to have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward. With respect to the Jewish communities that I represent, I think our nominee is going to have to convince folks that he is prepared to aggressively address the rise in antisemitism in the city of New York, which has been an unacceptable development.&#8221;

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic socialist candidate for mayor of New York, said on Thursday that he understood economics better than billionaire Bill Ackman, arguing that Ackman’s opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies was bad for business.
In the wake of Mamdani’s victory Tuesday night in the Democratic primary over former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Ackman had stated of Mamdani on X:
<blockquote>
 &#8230; his policies would be disastrous for NYC. Socialism has no place in the economic capital of our country. The ability for NYC to offer services for the poor and needy, let alone the average New Yorker, is entirely dependent on NYC being a business-friendly environment and a place where wealthy residents are willing to spend 183 days and assume the associated tax burden. Unfortunately, both have already started making arrangements for the exits.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Asked by Erin Burnett of CNN about his insistence that New York City raise the top corporate tax rate, Mamdani preached, “I&#8217;d also tell Bill Ackman that I firmly disagree with his attempt to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion across the country because it&#8217;s not only against the morals of so many, it&#8217;s also against the actual bottom line for so many businesses. And as a businessman, he should understand that.”

Mamdani, 33, a state assemblyman who grew up the privileged son of “acclaimed Marxist scholar Mahmood Mamdani and Oscar-nominated film director Mira Nair,” as The Indypendent <a href="https://indypendent.org/2020/06/home-foreclosure-specialist-aims-to-take-the-fight-for-housing-racial-justice-from-astoria-to-albany/">reported</a>, attended Bowdoin College, where he <a href="https://nyassembly.gov/mem/Zohran-K-Mamdani">co-founded</a> the school&#8217;s chapter of the radical activist group, Students for Justice in Palestine. His entire job history outside of politics has consisted of working as a foreclosure prevention counselor and a rapper.

Ackman, by contrast, has invested in businesses so successfully that he is now <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/william-ackman/">worth</a> an estimated $9 billion. He is a signatory of The Giving Pledge, committing to donate at least 50% of his wealth by the end of his life to charitable causes. The resident of New York City was a lifelong Democrat who crossed the aisle to support President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
New York Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent this mayoral election cycle, slammed Mamdani, <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/26/us-news/eric-adams-officially-kicks-off-nyc-mayoral-campaign-with-swipes-at-zohran-mamdani-blue-collar-or-silver-spoon/">saying</a>, “This election is a choice between a candidate with a blue collar and one with a soup silver spoon. A choice between dirty fingernails and manicured nails. &#8230; This is not a city where you use idealism to stake your giving everything to everyone for free. There&#8217;s no dignity in someone giving you everything for free. There&#8217;s dignity in giving you a job so you can provide for your family and the opportunities that you deserve. So, this is not a city of handouts. This is a city of hands up.”
Mamdani also issued a statement blasting President Trump, stating, “Zohran Mamdani will fight Trump&#8217;s attempts to gouge the working class, and deliver a city where everyone can afford a dignified life. Here&#8217;s how: Make NYC the Strongest Sanctuary City in the Country.”
After asserting his desire to “Get ICE out of all City facilities and end any cooperation,” the statement continued, “The Mamdani administration will:  Invest $165M in funding for immigration legal defense services . &#8230; Protect all personal data from other jurisdictions: The Mamdani administration will take seriously the threat Trump poses and will think expansively about ways to protect undocumented New Yorkers from deportation or other federal attacks.”

Socialists

You finally did it, you maniacs! You blew it up.
We are now living at the very end of “Planet of the Apes,” when stunned Americans wander the beaches of New York City and find the Statue of Liberty half-buried in the sand. That’s because Zohran Mamdani, a communist pro-Jihadi insane person who seems to have been bred in the laboratory at Columbia University just to be a leftist pastiche, is now the mayoral frontrunner in New York City because he won the Democratic primary last night in stunning fashion over the disgraced former governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo.
According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/nyregion/cuomo-mamdani-mayor-primary-nyc.html">The New York Times</a>:
<blockquote>Zohran Mamdani, a little-known state lawmaker whose progressive platform and campaign trail charisma electrified younger voters, stunned former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for mayor of New York on Tuesday night, building leads so commanding that Cuomo actually conceded.</blockquote>
Cuomo said, 
<blockquote>I&#8217;m very proud of the campaign that we ran, and I&#8217;m proud of the effort that we put forth, and I&#8217;m proud of the issues that we discussed. But tonight was not our night. Tonight was Assemblyman Mondani’s night, and he put together a great campaign, and he touched young people and inspired them and moved them and got them to come out and vote. And he really ran a highly impactful campaign. I called him; I congratulated him. I applaud him sincerely for his effort and let&#8217;s give him a round of applause.</blockquote>
So, Sad Sack Cuomo now wants to run as an Independent. We will find out whether that is real or whether that is not real, because after he registers as an independent — and now the mayoral race becomes Eric Adams, who’s running as an independent, and Cuomo running as independent, against Mamdani, who will be the Democratic nominee — Mamdani is pretty clearly the front-runner.
The Times continued: “Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist from Queens, tapped into a current and current of anxiety around New York City&#8217;s growing affordability crisis and his joyful campaign” — it&#8217;s always joyful for The New York Times. When you are a socialist nutjob, that means that you are filled with “joy,” so much “joy,” and anybody who accurately characterizes the state of New York City as not particularly good, that person is filled with rage.
They did the same routine about Kamala Harris. You remember she was so “filled with joy” and Donald Trump was so “filled with rage.”
It turns out that Trump&#8217;s perspective on reality was significantly more linked to reality than Kamala’s perspective.
Apparently, Cuomo was filled with “rage” and “despair,” but Mamdani was filled with joy.
There&#8217;ll be so much “joy” at these state-run supermarkets. I&#8217;m not kidding when I say that. That was one of the Mamdani proposals: he wants the city to run supermarkets because he believes that the profit motive is creating bad grocery choices in New York City, which is psychotic. Socialists have never been good at the distribution of food. That&#8217;s why they have bread lines in socialist countries. And Mamdani is not just a left-leaning Norwegian type. Mamdani is someone who believes in full-scale nationalization, the government running the means of production.
When we say he&#8217;s a communist, he&#8217;s an actual, honest-to-God communist.

I think the most important thing here to remember is that young Democrats are basically sixth-grade voters in your middle-school election.
If you ever ran for student body president in middle school, you will remember that if you ran a normal campaign pledging, for example, that you were going to clean up the gym better, and then some kid came in and said, “I pledge free ice cream and no homework for everyone,” all the kids voted for that idiot.
That&#8217;s New York City when it comes to all of the Gen X, millennial, and Gen Z voters, particularly white people.
If you look at the voting map of New York City from Tuesday night, you will notice something very funny. Everyone who actually has to live in the parts of the city that are not the richest parts of the city voted against him. 
Mamdani is simply an essential boiling down of every luxury belief that upper-class, college-educated white people hold, and those beliefs are insane.
You wonder why I&#8217;m very much in favor of President Trump effectively wrecking the universities?
This is why. They have become indoctrination centers for Zohran Mamdani and his voters.
Blame this on the upper-class, college-educated white people. That&#8217;s who did this. It shows you that college makes people stupid.
As a resident of Florida since 2020, let me say this to all the high-net-worth individuals in New York City, all the people who pay taxes, all the productive people in New York City with investment firms and financial investments: We&#8217;re here for you, down here in Florida. We&#8217;re here.
But leave your values at the border because your stupid values bought you this. So don&#8217;t come down to my state and wreck my state. We&#8217;ll be checking ID as you come down into my state. We&#8217;ll be deporting all the New York illegal immigrants who come into the state of Florida if you come down here and you bring your Democratic crap politics to my state.
But if you&#8217;re coming down here as an act of contrition and repentance, noticing that your city has completely destroyed itself, noticing that your city is now trending toward full-scale socialism, wrecking all of the things that made New York City great, all of the investment, all of the creativity, all of the innovation, in favor of redistributionist nonsense — if you&#8217;re coming down here and you are simply bringing your productivity and your innovation and yes, your wealth, down to Florida from New York, come on down. We&#8217;re here for you. We&#8217;ll be here for you in your time of need.
And yes, the real estate prices may be a little bit higher since that&#8217;s your penalty for not having seen what was coming in the city that you helped to wreck over a period of time.

Mayoral Candidate For New York Zohran Mamdani Holds Primary Election Night Party

You Finally Did It, You Maniacs

Mayor

On the surface, it might seem like &#8220;wokeness&#8221; and the extreme excesses of Left-wing ideology have been defeated, or at least neutralized. But that&#8217;s not the case. The most destructive and anti-American impulses of the Left have not been defeated. They haven&#8217;t suddenly realized the errors of their ways.
Instead, like a malignant cancer, they have mutated. They&#8217;ve identified different ways to undermine the foundations of this country. And in the process, they have become much more dangerous and ultimately much more deadly. That’s not to say that we haven’t had any real victories against wokeness, or leftism, in recent years. We have. But the battle is very, very far from over. Cut off one tentacle of this giant squid-like beast, and it grows another.
That&#8217;s the only way to understand what took place yesterday in New York&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/andrew-cuomo-falls-to-radical-socialist-zohran-mamdani-in-nyc-mayoral-primary?author=Tim+Rice&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Andrew+Cuomo+Falls+To+Radical+Socialist+Zohran+Mamdani+In+NYC+Mayoral+Primary">mayoral primary</a>. Andrew Cuomo has conceded the race — which means that, barring an upset in the general election from a candidate like Eric Adams, a 33-year-old Muslim socialist from Uganda named Zohran Mamdani is going to be the next mayor of New York City. Yes, a foreign nepo baby and failed rapper who wants to nationalize the grocery stores and the rental properties, while also destroying the police department in the name of “queer liberation,” and forcing taxpayers to fund sex-changes for children, is the man New Yorkers apparently want to put in charge.

Every aspect of his platform is un-American and demented and totally insane, but it&#8217;s worth spending a little time specifically on his brilliant idea to create government-run grocery stores, which we touched on yesterday. We can use just this one example, this one part of his platform, to show how utterly foolish the whole thing is. So, in this country, the typical grocery store has a profit margin of roughly 2 to 3%. They&#8217;re not colluding with other stores to extract some insane profits, in violation of antitrust law. Instead, the way grocery stores work is by leveraging economies of scale to generate a lot of very small profits from a lot of individual sales, which add up over time. They&#8217;re only functional because they&#8217;re efficient, which is the opposite of how the government works. And even then, they&#8217;re barely turning a profit on every sale. If you’re some kind of greedy capitalist Gordon Gecko like figure, the grocery business is not the kind of business you’d get into.
So if you want to create government-run grocery stores, then you might as well create government-run restaurants and technology companies and car dealerships, too. You might as well nationalize the entire economy, and turn the United States into Venezuela. After all, of all the things you can nationalize, grocery stores are the most extreme. As usual, radical leftists don’t follow the slippery slope trajectory in a neat and gradual way. The start with the most extreme thing, and work backwards from there.

If this conversation sounds familiar, it&#8217;s because Kamala Harris also ran on the idea of price controls for grocery stores. Which is just socialism, of course. It was rejected by voters in every swing state because it doesn&#8217;t work. But it just won in New York, thanks largely to well-off voters who will never need to shop in a government-run grocery store. That&#8217;s why the blue-collar workers didn&#8217;t vote for this communist. They saw what happened when San Francisco, and Chicago, and every other jurisdiction on the planet voted for people like this. It ends in widespread poverty and destruction, every single time. And that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going to happen soon in our largest city.
There are broader implications here as well, beyond the disaster that&#8217;s about to befall New Yorkers. Whatever happens in the general election, it&#8217;s safe to say that, less than 25 years after 9/11, New York has been conquered. All of the trillions of dollars we&#8217;ve spent on fighting &#8220;the war on terror,&#8221; and all of the American lives that have been lost here and abroad, have not prevented an anti-American Muslim from taking control of America&#8217;s largest city. We&#8217;ve spent the last 25 years bringing &#8220;freedom&#8221; and &#8220;democracy&#8221; to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I&#8217;m so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why. And keep in mind: this guy is a &#8220;legal immigrant.&#8221; We allowed him into this country and granted him citizenship, even though he doesn&#8217;t share any of our values. That&#8217;s how seriously we&#8217;ve &#8220;protected the homeland&#8221; after 9/11. We&#8217;ve rolled out the red carpet for foreign nationals who are going to destroy us from within.
If New York City were a country, its GDP would rank it around the 12th largest globally. And now there&#8217;s a very, very good chance it&#8217;s going to be in the hands of a man who hasn&#8217;t even been a citizen for a decade, who fakes his accents, and sees capitalism — the economic engine that has single-handedly prevented this country from becoming another Uganda — as an enemy to be vanquished. This is a man whose own mother has reportedly said: &#8220;He is not an American at all.” In that way, he has a lot of company in New York City, where 40% — 40% — of the city’s population wasn&#8217;t born in this country.
Hearing all of this, you might say — well, New York has always been a Left-wing cesspool. It&#8217;s always been a little dysfunctional. But that&#8217;s not true. A few decades ago, only around 20% of the city was born in a foreign country. Now the number is close to double that figure. And what do you know? Hot on the heels of demographic replacement, New York is poised to have a third world mayor. The slogans are true. Demographics are destiny. Import the third world, become the third world. It’s all true. And New York will learn that when they have a mayor who proudly <a href="https://x.com/RealSaavedra/status/1937706224302063937">tweeted:</a> &#8220;Queer liberation means defund the police.&#8221; He also called the NYPD: &#8220;racist, anti-queer and a major threat to public safety.&#8221; College-educated New Yorkers, as well as foreign nationals, are the reason he won. There&#8217;s no debate about that. Here&#8217;s one exit poll, to give you an idea:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Wow who could have predicted the poor and working class would see right through this fraud. <a href="https://t.co/06rnzjg0fQ">pic.twitter.com/06rnzjg0fQ</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
As you can see, New Yorkers with the lowest incomes were the ones who rejected Zohran Mamdani. You might think that the poorest voters would support the socialist, but that&#8217;s not the case. That&#8217;s probably because, unlike college-educated New Yorkers who were taught to despise his country and leech as much as possible, poorer New Yorkers didn’t undergo all of the same brainwashing.
As a result, very soon, New Yorkers will discover that &#8220;stop and frisk&#8221; wasn&#8217;t actually so bad. The alternative is lawlessness and socialism, which will trigger a death spiral in New York. Wealthy New Yorkers, who would be forced to fund all of the social experiments this new mayor wants to undertake, will simply leave. And once that happens, New York will no longer have a GDP that rivals most other countries in the world. We will witness, in real-time, the slow and managed destruction of a world-class city. Another one.
And that&#8217;s not something to celebrate, regardless of your politics, as tempting as it may be. I wish that I could just say &#8220;good riddance&#8221; to all of the major American cities that have fallen into decay and disorder thanks to their awful leaders and the suicidal idiots who elect them. But as an American, I want these cities to be great. They used to be. They could be again. That&#8217;s why I have so much contempt for the parasites who&#8217;ve destroyed them. Those are American cities. That means they&#8217;re our cities, too. And these morons ruined them.

Suddenly the fall of &#8220;Pride month&#8221; doesn&#8217;t seem quite as significant. The election of a Muslim socialist to be the next mayor of NYC is very clear evidence that &#8220;wokeness&#8221; and Left-wing ideology is still very much alive in this country. Say what you will about Andrew Cuomo&#8217;s disastrous handling of COVID, and all of his weaknesses as a candidate. There&#8217;s still no other explanation for what happened last night. This primary demonstrates, once again, that the culture war continues. It just moves to new battlefields. This is how Leftism operates. It shape shifts and rebrands and grows new tentacles. Finds new Trojan Horses. But it&#8217;s always the same enemy underneath it all.
And as New Yorkers are about to discover, the enemy is even more potent — and more capable of ruining millions of lives — than it&#8217;s ever been. New York, and the entire country, has just suffered a catastrophic blow. And if we&#8217;re going to preserve what&#8217;s left of America, we have to, as I’ve been saying, return the focus to what&#8217;s happening within our own borders.
The invaders are winning. That&#8217;s not easy to admit, but it&#8217;s true. They are a far greater threat to our sovereignty and our security than any country that&#8217;s 6,000 miles away. And unless we want the entire country to suffer the same fate as New York, we have to recognize that fact. We have to treat these foreign socialists like the mortal enemy that they are. After last night, we can either choose to fight, or we can become Uganda.
Voters in New York — many of whom aren&#8217;t even American — have just made their choice. Now the rest of us have to stop wasting our time obsessing over whatever&#8217;s happening across the globe, and make our choice as clear as we possibly can.

NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Hosts Election Night Event

New Yorkers Embrace Their Own Destruction By Voting For Socialist Muslim Mayor

Democrats

Matt Walsh

Former New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 67,  and self-declared Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, 33, are facing off on Tuesday in the New York Democratic mayoral primary, with a final poll suggesting the Uganda-born lawmaker could topple the veteran politician through ranked-choice voting.
Steve Kornacki, a national political correspondent and election analyst for NBC News, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/steve-kornacki-breaking-state-new-yorks-mayoral-race-primary-day-rcna214579">paints</a> a nuanced picture of Tuesday’s primary vote, emphasizing that only two major public polls have been conducted in the lead-up to the primary, each showing vastly different results.
The Emerson College/PIX11/The Hill <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/new-york-city-mayoral-poll-june/">poll</a> shows Cuomo leading Mamdani by a slim 35% to 32% margin in first-choice votes, but after multiple rounds of ranked-choice tabulation, Mamdani overtakes the former governor to win 52% to 48%. There are 11 Democrats on the primary ballot.
A Marist University poll <a href="https://maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Marist-Poll_June-NYC-NOS-and-Tables_202506162130-2.pdf">conducted</a> a week prior has Cuomo leading 38% to 27% in the initial round and 55% to 45% after several rounds of ranked choice.
In ranked-choice voting, voters rank up to five candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives more than 50% of first-choice votes, the last-place candidate is eliminated, and their votes are redistributed based on voters’ next choices until someone wins a majority.
The polls diverge in two major areas, Kornacki explains: performance among black voters and the distribution of City Comptroller Brad Lander’s votes after he is eliminated in the ranked choice tabulation.
The Marist poll showed Cuomo with a 52-point advantage among black voters in the final round, while the more recent Emerson survey indicates Mamdani has closed that gap significantly, winning 38% of black voters in the final tabulation.
Lander’s projected elimination had little impact on the final round of the Marist poll, as Cuomo’s lead diminished only slightly from 13 to 10 points. In contrast, Emerson’s final round shows Lander’s votes propelling Mamdani to a 4-point lead over Cuomo after trailing in the prior round.
Brad Lander, recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-democrat-nyc-mayoral-candidate-arrested-by-ice-at-immigration-court">arrested</a> at an immigration court protest, could emerge as the race&#8217;s kingmaker.
Lander and Mamdani formed a strategic alliance last week, with each candidate asking supporters to include the other in their ranked ballots while excluding Cuomo — a move that explains why Mamdani gains substantially if Lander is eliminated in the tabulation process.
Political analyst and statistician Nate Silver <a href="https://x.com/NateSilver538/status/1937185148736618695">points out</a>, “[O]ne of the nuances of RCV (ranked-choice voting) is that negative campaigning can backfire just because it puts your name more in voters&#8217; minds and therefore they&#8217;ll list you *somewhere* on their ballot.”
&#8220;I&#8217;m hearing things I don&#8217;t like about this Zohran guy, I&#8217;d better make sure to list him below [preferred choices] on my ballot’ is a lot *better* for Zohran than if voters don&#8217;t list him at all. Cuomo may benefit from this effect too,” Silver <a href="https://x.com/NateSilver538/status/1937185150611357725">adds</a>.
Kornacki predicts the tallying will likely continue past Tuesday, and the primary result might not even indicate the next mayor of deep blue New York City.
But no matter who wins the Democratic primary, both Cuomo and Mamdani are expected to appear on the general election ballot. Cuomo has already created the &#8220;Fight and Deliver Party,&#8221; which will allow him to appear on the November ballot regardless of today&#8217;s outcome, while Mamdani is poised to be the candidate of the Working Families Party in the event of defeat.
Meanwhile, current Democratic Mayor Eric Adams is running as an independent in the general election, while Republicans are poised to nominate Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. The potential addition of both Cuomo and Mamdani further crowds the field for the general election in November.
Mamdani, who currently represents parts of Queens in the state assembly, has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/here-are-the-top-five-craziest-policy-proposals-from-nyc-mayor-candidates?author=Catherine+Maxwell&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Here+Are+The+Top+Five+Craziest+Policy+Proposals+From+NYC+Mayor+Candidates">advocated</a> for defunding the police, rent control expansion, government-sponsored grocery stores, higher taxes, and $65 million in taxpayer-funded “gender-affirming” trans procedures for adults and children.
Betting markets have the race in a dead heat as of Tuesday morning, leaning slightly in favor of Mamdani after the new Emerson poll, which accurately predicted the <a href="https://emersonpolling.reportablenews.com/pr/nyc-mayor-2021-adams-stays-ahead-but-rank-choice-voting-closes-gap-for-wiley-and-garcia">outcome</a> of the 2021 primary, showed Mamdani taking the lead.

Mixed Polls, Major Stakes: Experts Decode The Tight NYC Mayor Battle

Ranked Choice Voting

With the Democratic primary in the New York City Mayoral election only a day away, the competition for who will likely be in charge of the largest city in the country is reaching a boiling point. The two front runners are Andrew Cuomo, former New York state Governor who resigned in disgrace after multiple scandals, and Zohran Mamdani, a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America who seems ready to burn the city to the ground to become king of the ashes.
Andrew Cuomo was a horrific governor of New York State. He pushed radical, far-Left agendas on a variety of issues, from gun control to abortion to climate change. He raised taxes, demonized and prosecuted his political opponents. He also oversaw a mass exodus from the state. And yet, he is the best chance New York Democrats have of avoiding complete ruin.
Zohran Mamdani, on the other hand, is the epitome of an ignorant, spoiled millennial who appears to have read the Wikipedia entry on Karl Marx and never looked back. If he were white, he would assert his identity with a half dozen facial piercings and by dying his hair blue.
Born in Uganda to Indian parents, Mamdani is a silver-spoon socialist who hates capitalism, hates the West, and is pushing policies that will destroy New York City and the surrounding areas.
Mamdani’s policy platform on his <a href="https://www.zohranfornyc.com/">campaign website</a> reads like a 6th grader running for class president who promises free pizza for lunch and unlimited recess for all. He wants to freeze rent and build affordable housing, which is a mutually exclusive proposition. If landlords cannot make money on their properties, then investment in new properties dries up. If new properties, like Class 2 apartment buildings, dry up, then a significant portion of tax revenue to the city disappears, leaving no money for the city to invest in “affordable” housing. Rent control has failed everywhere it’s been tried because people don’t leave their apartments. The prices on all other apartments then skyrocket to make up for the shortfalls as a result. 
Mamdani wants to build a “Department of Community Safety,” which is socialist lingo for defunding the police. He wants to pull money from the police budget and give it to social workers who will be ill-equipped to deal with the myriad problems. So the issues that arise from this are two-fold. First, you have fewer police officers. The policemen who are left will then need to use more aggressive tactics to ensure order, leading to more confrontations with the community, leading to more unrest and crime. Second, New Yorkers are then left with unqualified, unarmed civilians dealing with severe issues in the worst parts of the city. When they find themselves in over their heads — and they will — they will slow their work down to focus on the few cases they can handle and ignore the rest, leaving mentally unstable people on the streets for the general public to worry about.

Mamdani also proposes a network of city-owned grocery stores. This plan is straight out of the communist playbook. In his TikTok video promoting the idea, Mamdani says that grocery stores are too expensive. His proposal will simultaneously increase the overhead costs of grocery stores via property costs, congestion pricing, adding to delivery costs, and green new deal policies that increase the costs of electricity and maintenance. He will undercut pricing until other, independent stores can’t compete and will be forced to close, leaving only city-owned grocery stores. Then the stores themselves will either have to skyrocket the prices, have little to no inventory, or be massively subsidized by taxpayer dollars, creating another redistribution scheme.
His proposal on childcare? Free childcare, of course. Get the kids early and keep them forever, that’s the socialist motto. Once again, no plans on how to pay for this.
Mamdani also wants free bussing around the city, which brings in approximately $1.2 billion in revenue for the <a href="https://council.nyc.gov/budget/wp-content/uploads/sites/54/2024/03/MTA.pdf">MTA</a>. Other, saner people would actually talk about prosecuting <a href="https://www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/05/cracking-down-fare-evasion-new-yorks-subways-and-buses/396821/">fare evasion</a>, which costs $350-700 million per year and forces the rest of the public to pick up the monetary slack, but Mamdani actually wants to reward the criminals and say that everyone gets free bussing. Of course, he also claims that this means that buses will be safer and cleaner to ride and everyone will love them, when in reality, this means that they will become mobile homeless shelters or overcrowded nightmares.
The gaslighting by Mamdani is shockingly brazen. Recently, he touted his free bussing proposal while riding the Staten Island Ferry. He claimed on social media that since the ferry is free, why can’t bussing be free? Either he doesn’t know that the ferry costs well over <a href="https://council.nyc.gov/budget/wp-content/uploads/sites/54/2024/03/MTA.pdf">$100 million</a> per year to operate while the bus system costs over $4 billion per year, or is assuming that his audience is too dumb to put that together. Either way, it doesn’t matter to Mamdani, because to a socialist, everything can be paid for just because they say it can.
How will Mamdani pay for all of his proposals? You guessed it, he will raise taxes.
All of these proposals come directly from Mamdani’s campaign website and should concern every responsible New Yorker. It’s his opinions and views on Israel and the Jews, however, that should concern them even more.
His defenders will, of course, claim that he doesn’t hate Jews — and anti-Zionist Leftist Jews from “IfNotNow” and “Jewish Voice For Peace” will line up around the block to take pictures with him to prove that he’s not anti-Semitic. But that’s all a sham.
Mamdani was the sponsor of the ‘<a href="https://www.notonourdime.com/">Not On Our Dime</a>’ act in Albany, one of the first bills he proposed. It would empower the Attorney General to shut down any non-profit (which includes any synagogue) that gave charity to any entity in the “Occupied Palestinian Territories.” Now, he would claim that he means Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, but everyone knows that the pro-Hamasniks believe that all of Israel is truly the “Occupied Palestinian Territory.” They literally wear t-shirts that say exactly that.
Mamdani also does not believe Israel should exist as a Jewish state. So the standard that applies to the 27 Muslim, 13 Christian, or two Buddhist countries does not apply to the only Jewish state?
<div id="attachment_938319" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-938319" class="size-large wp-image-938319" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/GettyImages-2219190593-864x576.jpg" alt="Zohran Mamdani, New York City mayoral candidate, from left, Zellnor Myrie, New York City mayoral candidate, and Scott Stringer, New York City mayoral candidate, during a mayoral Democratic primary debate in New York, US, on Thursday, June 12, 2025.

During the recent Democratic mayoral debate, when asked specifically if Israel should exist as a Jewish state, Mamdani replied, “I believe Israel can exist as a state with equal rights.” His statement ignores the fact that Israel offers equal rights for all its citizens, that Arabs serve in the Israeli government, on courts, and any other setting they wish to. In fact, Israel has far more equality than Mamdani’s birth country of Uganda.
So, Mamdani wants to shut down every Jewish non-profit or synagogue, thinks the Jewish state should be eradicated, and we’re supposed to believe he doesn&#8217;t hate the Jews?
This couldn’t come at a more important time. Recently, Molotov cocktails were thrown at Jews in Boulder, Colorado, for the crime of wanting to free Jewish hostages. Several weeks ago, two young people were shot in Washington, D.C., for the crime of attending an Israeli event. Students in New York City can’t get to classes, the streets have been blocked, and lives have been ruined. Will this mayoral hopeful have an interest in directing what remains of his police force to protect the Jews who live in his city, or will he publish a trite statement on social media and turn a blind eye?
Now we’re seeing riots in Los Angeles and around the country as deranged Leftists take on ICE agents. The president activated the National Guard to prevent a return to the summer of 2020. Will Mamdani stoke the same fires as Democrats in California have, calling them a “mostly peaceful protests” while the fires burn? Will he throw fuel on those fires?
This election could be a breaking point for New York City. Everything that can be done to prevent Mamdani from winning must be done right now. The future of New York is in the hands of the voters. If they sit this one out, they only have themselves to blame.

New York City Mayoral Candidates Campaign Ahead Of Primary Election

Comrade Mamdani: Meet NYC’s Mayoral Candidate Who Hates Cops And Capitalism

Democrats have been wondering what has happened to their party. 
Why is it that Donald Trump has been elected twice in a three-election span? Why is it that the Democrats are currently riding in the 20% range with regard to their popularity in American life? Where did Democrats go wrong?
When you look at the public figures who are being put forward by the Left as the most salient, the most important, the most brilliant thinkers, the people who need to lead the country, they are all from Manbun McSoy Boy’s neck of the woods.
All of them.
The AOC self-congratulatory Democratic Socialists of America wing of the Democratic Party — people who have barely held a job, with a huge percentage of them getting a college education on the dime of their parents, the vast majority of whom are white — are taking over the Democratic Party.
The luxury beliefs that are held by white, college educated liberals are at complete odds with reality. For them, it’s all about values signaling. &#8220;Do you need to even work, bro? Who cares about your work, bro? Your job? Your community? Your safety?&#8221;
What really matters is that you&#8217;re holding the right lawn sign.
For the Democratic Party, it has become all about sounding off. It&#8217;s all about the performative. It&#8217;s all about the “resistance.”
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2216?elementPosition=2&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
One of the things that has truly broken the country is the primary process in both parties, but largely in the Democratic Party. That primary process, which says that the most motivated Left wingers are going to decide who the nominees are, has completely skewed the nature of American politics.
Thus, there is a brand new poll showing that the new frontrunner in the New York Democratic mayoral primary is not Andrew Cuomo, the disgraced former governor who&#8217;s now running for mayor in New York; it’s a person named Zohran Mamdani, according to a new poll by Public Policy Polling. (Mayor Eric Adams, who was a Democrat, is now running as an Independent.)
Who exactly is Zohran Mamdani? A state lawmaker from Queens, an open democratic socialist, one of these privileged, highly educated people who is completely disconnected from real life. He is the son of a Hollywood director and a college professor at Columbia University. He’s 33 and never held a real job.
He believes there should be city-run <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@zohran_k_mamdani/video/7447528235836902686" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grocery stores</a>, because the problem with grocery stores is that they operate at a profit motive. He’s a full-scale Bernie Sanders nut case. He said, “We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores whose mission is lower prices, not price gouging. These stores will operate without a profit motive or having to pay property taxes or rent, and we&#8217;ll pass on those savings to you.”
That&#8217;s not how things work. The Soviet Union tried to operate “stores without profit motive.” You know what ended up happening? Misallocation of resources. What ends up happening is shortages, because the profit motive is what determines how to control supply, what to bring into the grocery store and what not to.
“We have to make it very clear that people cannot eat words,” he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K7HDuoJ0MQ">declared</a>. “People need to have actual food. People need to have actual houses to live in, people need to have actual schools that they can go to. And I think it&#8217;s so critical that this journey into understanding the way in which we should relate to power, this journey and understanding that it is socialism that we are fighting for, is a journey that should begin as soon as possible for every single person in this country and this world.”
How radical is Mamdani? He said in 2020 that the New York Police Department — this was in 2020, while the riots were going on — should be removed from high-crime areas.
These are luxury beliefs. These are beliefs that nobody who actually lives on the ground in New York City holds, except for white libs and their allies. Mamdani isn&#8217;t white, but his voting base is predominantly white.
The New York Times even asked him about his voting base and the fact that they&#8217;re predominantly white, saying, “The polls show you&#8217;re doing really well with younger, whiter, more progressive voters. Why do you think you&#8217;re having a harder time with voters of color, who seem to be supporting former Governor Cuomo?” 
Mamdani suggested it was because the vast majority of New Yorkers had yet to tune in to the race. He said the polling obscured Asian New Yorkers, who were not listed as a category.
That’s not why. The answer is, as I’ve said, because the luxury beliefs that are held by white, college educated liberals are at complete odds with reality.
In 2020, Mamdani called for defunding the police. In February 2024, he was screaming about Israeli genocide while wearing a keffiyeh.
This is the guy who&#8217;s on the verge of becoming mayor of New York City, the most populous city in the United States. This is how off the rails the Democratic Party is.
Mamdani is a representation in human form of the Omnicause, the leftist agglomeration of grievances in one giant cause.
The question is not why people like Mamdani exist. We know why: They&#8217;ve been turned out by the university system, by a far-Left in this country that is taking control of the commanding heights of American popular culture and education and the media.
Name one political difference between the obnoxious Swedish woman child Greta Thunberg and this obnoxious American manchild now running for mayor in New York.
You can’t.

Candidates Participate In The New York City Democratic Mayoral Primary Debate

The Parasites Who Want To Run America

Days after being endorsed by fellow democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Zohran Mamdani is leading former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor for the first time, according to a poll released on Wednesday.
The <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000197-6195-da2a-a9bf-6fbd7abe0000">poll</a>, conducted by Public Policy Polling for Democrat Justin Brannan&#8217;s city comptroller campaign, showed Mamdani leading the primary 35% to Cuomo&#8217;s 31%, within a margin of error of 4.1 percentage points. The survey of 573 likely Democratic voters was conducted on June 6-7, one day after AOC endorsed Mamdani.
The results indicate that the primary has effectively narrowed to a two-person contest between Mamdani and Cuomo, with no other candidates breaking double digits, despite endorsements from a plethora of top New York Democratic officials.
Mamdani, 33, elected to the State Assembly in 2020, has positioned himself as a leftist alternative to Cuomo&#8217;s more moderate brand of Democratic politics, campaigning on free public bus fares, free child care, and city-run grocery stores. The self-described democratic socialist has yet to present any realistic plan to pay for these programs, which would <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/27/zohran-mamdani-policy-pitches-new-york-00369756">require</a> roughly $10 billion in funding for an already cash-strapped city.
Mamdani&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nycs-mayoral-race-takes-sharp-turn-putting-muslim-socialist-neck-and-neck-with-cuomo?author=Nathan+Gay&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=10&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=NYC%E2%80%99s+Mayoral+Race+Takes+Sharp+Turn%2C+Putting+Muslim+Socialist+Neck-And-Neck+With+Cuomo">rise</a> in the polls follows his effective use of social media to promote his platform and strategic partnerships with other far-Left Democrats. His campaign has capitalized on Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s <a href="https://x.com/ZohranKMamdani/status/1930601722193334611">endorsement</a> to build momentum ahead of the June 24 primary.

&#8220;When you run a disciplined, grassroots campaign relentlessly focused on an agenda to address the crises in working people&#8217;s lives, these are the results,&#8221; Mamdani spokesperson Andrew Epstein said. &#8220;New York City is so close to turning the page on the corrupt politics of the past and winning a future we can afford.&#8221;
Cuomo&#8217;s campaign has disputed the poll results, with spokesperson Rich Azzopardi <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/11/zohran-mamdani-climbs-to-top-of-poll-leading-andrew-cuomo-00401594">telling</a> POLITICO that their internal polling shows the former governor maintaining &#8220;a consistent double-digit lead for more than three months.&#8221; The Cuomo spokesman complained that &#8220;the only polls showing this trend line are paid for by Zohran Mamdani Inc,&#8221; and, &#8220;It&#8217;s not lost on us that Politico is the only NYC media outlet that continues to take these outlier polls.&#8221;
According to POLITICO, the poll methodology might have slightly favored Mamdani, as 61% of responses came from text messages rather than landlines.
The former governor has recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cuomo-says-hell-spend-eight-years-in-washington-fighting-trump-if-he-wins-nyc-mayors-race?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Cuomo+Says+He%E2%80%99ll+Spend+%E2%80%98Eight+Years+In+Washington%E2%80%99+Fighting+Trump+If+He+Wins+NYC+Mayor%E2%80%99s+Race">sharpened</a> his attacks against Mamdani, questioning his &#8220;thin resume&#8221; and ability to lead New York City&#8217;s complex government. Cuomo maintains 42% support among black voters, while Mamdani showed the strongest appeal with white and Asian voters.
Ranked choice voting, which will be used in the Democratic primary in two weeks, was not simulated in the survey. However, a recent Emerson <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/nyc-2025-poll/">poll</a> showed Mamdani performing better in later rounds of ranked choice voting than in early rounds by picking up second-choice votes after other candidates are eliminated, which could indicate an even larger lead than the PPP poll suggests.
In ranked-choice voting, voters rank up to five candidates in order of preference, and if no candidate receives more than 50% of first-choice votes, the last-place candidate is eliminated and their votes are redistributed based on voters&#8217; next choices until someone wins a majority.
Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, running as an independent this cycle, has been far behind both Mamdani and Cuomo in general election polling, and is reportedly <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/30/us-news/eric-adams-quietly-tries-to-rally-nyc-republicans-to-run-on-gop-line-or-back-his-independent-mayoral-bid-as-politicos-grew-fearful-of-socialist-zohran-mamdani/">courting</a> Big Apple Republicans for support. Adams, who made an <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/22/adams-and-homan-deepen-partnership-law-enforcement-ice-00305221">alliance</a> with Trump border czar Tom Homan earlier this year, moved to open an ICE office on Rikers Island and cooperated to indict 27 alleged Tren de Aragua members.
Cuomo and Mamdani will face each other again in a debate Thursday night, where Cuomo is expected to continue highlighting Mamdani&#8217;s limited government experience and the fiscal impact of his policy proposals.

Democratic Socialist Surges Ahead Of Cuomo In NYC Mayor Race: Poll

News

Poll

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani surged to within single digits of disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary race, according to newly released polling.
According to a PIX 11/Emerson College poll released earlier this week, Mamdani, a 33-year-old Muslim from Queens who is a state assemblyman, trails Cuomo 54.4% to 45.6% after 10 simulated rounds of ranked-choice voting, a notable improvement from late March when Cuomo was ahead 38% to 10%.
“Cuomo has led in the polls since early 2025, but Mamdani has surged, gaining 23 points and winning second-choice votes nearly 2-to-1, cutting Cuomo’s ranked-choice lead from 12 points to 9 points,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, <a href="https://emersoncollegepolling.com/nyc-2025-poll/">said</a>. &#8220;With four weeks to go, the question is whether Cuomo can run out the clock, or if he needs to win over second-choice voters to hold off Mamdani&#8217;s momentum.”
Cuomo maintained his strong lead in the early rounds of ranked choice voting in the poll, with Mamdani only closing the gap in later rounds.
In ranked-choice voting, voters rank up to five candidates in order of preference, and if no candidate receives more than 50% of first-choice votes, the last-place candidate is eliminated and their votes are redistributed based on voters&#8217; next choices until someone wins a majority.
The ranked-choice voting system appears to be working to Mamdani&#8217;s advantage, as, according to the poll, he continues gaining ground by picking up second-choice votes after other candidates are eliminated.
Per the Emerson report, “35% of voters support former Governor Andrew Cuomo on the first round of the ballot, 23% support State Rep. Zohran Mamdani, 11% support Comptroller Brad Lander, 9% former State Rep. Scott Stringer, 8% City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, and 5% State Senator Zellnor Myrie.”
“Cuomo’s strongest support comes from black voters (74%), voters over 50 (66%), and women (58% to 42%),” Kimball added. “Mamdani leads among voters under 50 with 61%, and holds an edge among white voters (57% to 43%) and college-educated voters (58% to 42%).”

Cuomo’s campaign maintains that the Emerson poll is an “outlier,” with campaign spokesman Rich Azzopardi <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/state/3425895/zohran-mamdani-andrew-cuomo-new-york-city-mayor-race-closes-gap-poll/">telling</a> the Washington Examiner that the ex-governor “is the consistent and overwhelming frontrunner in this race.”
However, Mamdani has effectively formed strategic alliances with other left-wing candidates in an effort to block the 67-year-old former governor&#8217;s political comeback and consolidate his base.
Mamdani called on his supporters to <a href="https://www.cityandstateny.com/politics/2025/05/how-much-did-zohran-mamdanis-call-action-help-adrienne-adams-fundraising/405674/?oref=csny-skybox-lander">contribute</a> to rival progressive Adrienne Adams&#8217; campaign in order to help her qualify for matching public funds in a slight against Cuomo, aiming to pick up second-choice votes after other candidates are eliminated.
In a hypothetical general election matchup, the poll shows Cuomo performs better against Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, with Cuomo winning 44% support compared to 35% for Mamdani if he were the Democratic nominee. Sliwa is the founder of the Guardian Angels and lost the 2021 mayoral election to current New York Mayor Eric Adams, a registered Democrat running this cycle as an independent, according to Emerson College Polling.
Meanwhile, incumbent Mayor Adams, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/eric-adams-back-in-nyc-mayor-race-as-an-independent">running</a> as an independent, would receive just 10% support against Cuomo but would climb to 15% against Mamdani.
Mamdani, elected to the State Assembly in 2020, has positioned himself as a leftist alternative to Cuomo&#8217;s more moderate brand of Democratic politics, campaigning on free public bus fares, free child care, and city-run grocery stores.
Mandani&#8217;s campaign celebrated the results of the poll, <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/28/us-news/surging-mamdani-cuts-cuomos-lead-in-democratic-nyc-mayoral-primary-to-just-single-digits-poll/">stating</a>, &#8220;Andrew Cuomo has hit his ceiling, while we&#8217;re nowhere near ours,&#8221; per The New York Post. Mamdani himself posted on X, &#8220;We&#8217;re now 8 points away from sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs.”

The Emerson poll was conducted with 1,000 registered NYC voters with a margin of error of +/- 3%, and the ranked choice voting simulation included 500 Democrats, excluding undecided voters, with a margin of error of +/- 4.3 percentage points.

NYC’s Mayoral Race Takes Sharp Turn, Putting Muslim Socialist Neck-And-Neck With Cuomo

Vice President Kamala Harris is pulling out all the stops as Election Day fast approaches, first turning to former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-says-dems-trotting-out-obama-to-campaign-for-kamala-is-a-desperation-move" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barack Obama</a>, and now enlisting socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders to stump for her.
Sanders, who advocates for what he calls &#8220;Democratic Socialism&#8221; and was apparently <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/bernie-sanders-asked-leave-hippie-commune/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kicked out of a hippie commune</a> for being too lazy, hit up Nevada and Wisconsin to promote Harris. Ironically, the VP is simultaneously trying to distance herself from her radical positions and present as a moderate this cycle.
Over the weekend, Sanders made <a href="https://www.fox21online.com/2024/10/12/sen-bernie-sanders-campaigns-for-harris-and-walz-in-superior/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">two stops in Wisconsin</a> to promote the Harris-Walz ticket. The Vermont senator also recently hit up <a href="https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/among-some-bernie-sanders-supporters-in-nevada-harris-is-the-best-of-the-choices" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nevada</a> to campaign for Harris, <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/10/04/us-news/bernie-sanders-stumps-for-kamala-harris-in-las-vegas-without-telling-crowd-to-vote-for-her/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urging</a> progressives that it&#8217;s &#8220;imperative that we defeat Trump.&#8221;
Though Sanders is certainly far-Left, Harris in 2019 was <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/kamala_harris/412678/report-card/2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rated</a> even further Left than Sanders in the Senate. Harris, in fact, was voted the &#8220;most liberal&#8221; member of the Senate.
Notably, Harris co-sponsored Sanders&#8217; &#8220;Medicare for All&#8221; bill when she served in the Senate, and promoted the plan when she ran for president in 2020. The far-Left legislation would have cost taxpayers $32 trillion over ten years and effectively <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/29/politics/harris-private-insurance-medicare/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eliminated private health insurance</a>.
“Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on,” Harris told CNN host Jake Tapper of private health insurance during her 2020 run for the White House.
This election cycle, however, Harris&#8217; team told the press in August that the Democrat would not be pushing &#8220;Medicare for All&#8221; this go-around — one of the many Team Harris attempts to moderate the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yeah-i-am-radical-new-trump-ad-use-kamalas-own-words-against-her" target="_blank" rel="noopener">self-styled radical</a> candidate.
During her time in politics, Harris has voiced support for the controversial Green New Deal, a total ban on fracking, gun confiscation, the elimination of private health insurance, taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants — including sex-changes, the radical “defund the police” movement, and other far-Left issues.
For example, Harris said during her 2020 run that there’s “no question” she’s “in favor of banning fracking.”
“And starting with what we can do on Day 1 around public lands,” she said. “This is something I’ve taken on in California. I have a history on this issue.”
The Veep also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-a-to-z-from-marxist-influences-to-willie-brown-to-radical-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised</a> Australia’s strict gun ban and said she would implement gun confiscation for up to 10 million guns in the U.S. through a mandatory gun buy-back program.

Socialist Bernie Sanders Stumps For Kamala Harris In Election Home Stretch

Michigan Democrat Rep. Shri Thanedar renounced his membership in the largest socialist organization in the United States after the far-Left group promoted an anti-semitic rally in the wake of barbaric terrorist attacks on Israel from Hamas.
&#8220;Today, I am officially renouncing my membership in the Democratic Socialists of America,&#8221; Thanedar wrote in a <a href="https://twitter.com/RepShriThanedar/status/1712181950176186851?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news release</a>. &#8220;After the brutal terrorist attacks on Israel, which include the indiscriminate murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocent men, women, and children, I can no longer associate with an organization unwilling to call out terrorism in all its forms.&#8221;
The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, which its <a href="https://www.dsausa.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> claims has over 92,000 members and chapters in all 50 states, promoted a rally in Times Square on Sunday alongside other organizations. At that rally, roughly 1,000 demonstrators celebrated Hamas&#8217; deadly attacks on Israel that has so far left more 1,200 Israelis — and 22 U.S. citizens — dead, and nearly 3,000 injured.
&#8220;Sunday&#8217;s hate-filled and anti-semitic rally in New York City, promoted by the NYC-DSA, makes it impossible for me to continue my affiliation,&#8221; Thanedar continued. &#8220;I stand with Israel and its right to defend itself.&#8221;
&#8220;There is no place for moral equivocation in the face of unadulterated evil as we have seen from Hamas,&#8221; he said, in part. &#8220;My ideals have not changed at all. I strongly believe that ending my association with DSA serves my constituents&#8217; interests as they expect me to represent them by helping to build a better, more just world, not fanning the flames of hatred.&#8221;
Thanedar&#8217;s response toward the socialist group&#8217;s demonstration joined a number of other political lawmakers who have distanced themselves from remarks that were said at the event.
&#8220;We are here in solidarity with the Palestinian people who are fighting 75 years of Israeli settler colonialism, settler violence, and 16 years of military blockade of Gaza,&#8221; Munir Atalla, a 30-year-old Palestinian Youth Movement group member, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nypd-to-conduct-perimeter-searches-around-synagogues-mayor-urges-religious-leaders-to-hire-extra-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> said. &#8220;What we saw yesterday was the people of Gaza breaking out of their open-air prison.&#8221;
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), one of the now five DSA members in Congress, reportedly called the &#8220;bigotry and callousness expressed&#8221; during the rally &#8220;were unacceptable and harmful in this devastating moment.&#8221;
&#8220;It should not be hard to shut down hatred and antisemitism where we see it. That is a core tenet of solidarity,&#8221; she said in a news release on Monday <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/10/aoc-pro-palestine-nyc-rally-00120684" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by POLITICO.
She added the event &#8220;also did not speak for the thousands of New Yorkers who are capable of rejecting both Hamas&#8217; horrifying attacks against innocent civilians as well as the grave injustices and violence Palestinians face under occupation.&#8221;
DSA member and New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani (D-Queens) also criticized the rally.
&#8220;My support for Palestinian liberation should never be confused for a celebration of the loss of civilian life,&#8221; Mamdani said in a statement. &#8220;I condemn the killing of civilians and rhetoric at a rally [on Sunday] seeking to make light of such deaths.&#8221;
NYC Democratic Mayor Eric Adams condemned the organized rally.
&#8220;At a moment when innocent people are being slaughtered and children kidnapped in Israel, it is disgusting that this group of extremists would show support for terrorism,&#8221; Adams reportedly wrote in an X-post on Monday. &#8220;I reject this. New York City rejects this. Do not use our streets to spread your hate.&#8221;
NYC-DSA officials reportedly claimed they did not organize the rally, adding the group opposes harming and targeting civilians.
Steering Committee Member Nadia Tykulsker said the group promoted the event &#8220;at the request of a coalition partner because we believe in equality and justice for all Palestinians and Israelis, and we know that war will take more lives.&#8221;
&#8220;It is shameful that politicians in our state are exploiting this moment to target a socialist organization and divide the vibrant left in New York — whose sole aim in politics is to grow the power of working people for freedom against exploitation and oppression — instead of focusing our attention where it should be: on the atrocities and tragic loss of life in the region,&#8221; she added.
