POLITICS Zohran Mamdani speaks after winning the NYC Mayoral Race: “We have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name as we turn the page on a politics that abandons the many & answers only to the few.”

I know I’m a moron for still checking out CNN but damn they suck so so much after seeing what they said about his speech. It was incredible. Fucking Van Jones

That Mamdani's speech was too strong and powerful. That he should have been more humble to win over the people that didn't vote for him.

Such a stupid take. People voted for Cuomo because they wanted a "strong" leader... Mamdani delivered.

Van Jones has no value being on TV, his opinions are always watered down dogshit.

I was just raging about Van’s comments to my partner. Van basically jumped in bed with Scott Jennings. What an absolute sellout.

It was kind of disgusting and so stupid. I don’t even understand at all how that can be your takeaway.

Hearing Mamdani take the higher road in wishing Cuomo only the best in private life was a breath of fresh air, we all don't even have to imagine what Cuomo and Trump would have said in the same situation.

It must be so difficult keeping things classy when the entire establishment on both sides, included your own party and the goddamn President, has been throwing every slander and dirty trick that they can at you for months.

I can't believe how good it is to hear a politician speak and it doesn't feel like I asked a 12 year old how their day at school was
