Self declared Socialist Zohran Mamdani has been elected the first Muslim Mayor of New York in a victory which though hailed as a political earthquake and a rejection of President Trump's government was, in reality, about as surprising as a rainy day in Manchester.
Mamdani, now becomes the Big Apple’s first Muslim mayor after defeating former New York State governor Andrew Cuomo (who ran as an independent having lost to Mamdani in the Democratic primary,) and Republican Curtis Sliwa in a race that became a massive taking over 50% of the vote. His victory will deepen political divisions throughout the USA as Democrat run states will feel empowered to challenge and frustrate the Republical federal government. Not long ago US Vice President J D Vance told Americans they had more to fear from their leaders than manufactured 'enemies' like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
His victory capped a clean sweep for Democrats in the few big races of this off-year election, as Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger of Virginia easily won governor’s races, while Gavin Newsom’s Prop 50 campaign was also approved. All of these wins happened in traditional Democrat strongholds and thus have little impact on the national political scene.
Mamdani told supporters who packed into Brooklyn’s Paramount Theatre and chanted his name: “I am Muslim. I am a democratic socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologise for any of this.”
What should concern all of us living in liberal democracies other than the USA is that the majority of his campaign funds came from the bilionaire psyhopath George Soros via his Far Left slush that is also at work subverting the UK.
Trump has plenty of problems to deal with already, including a mass of Far Left actividt in state governments and the judiciary, who used the state and court apparaus to wage lawfare against him but he needs to get somebody on shutting down Soros. This inveterate meddler in politicis, a super - wealthy Marxist who has sworn to destroy western civilisation and cultuire in order to open the way for a global Marxist government, Soros was recently accused of interfereing in democracy by Italy's Giorgia Meloni, has funded various colour revolutions that ousted democratically elected governments, the LA riots, Antifa, groups opposing the good work the ICE are doing rooting out illegals, and funds the offices of Attorneys General in Democrat states so long as they advance his Marxist agenda.
New York has already lost a huge amount of income already and the election of a Mayor determined to 'punish' the rich should see masses more leave. As WUWT points out, they have a looming energy crisis as the whole state is wedded to Net Stupid Zero committment passed by a Democrtic state legislature.
A commentator on GB News said that this could actually be good news as turning New York into another Democrat run shithole like LA, San Francisco, Chicago etc can only be bad news for the party. With the other election results there is a clear warning for Republicans that they need to get out and vote in the mid terms or risk allowing the Democrats to cheat their way to majorities in one or both houses next year.
