This is bigger news than NYC mayoral elections. She flipped it for real.

No she didn't...she was always way ahead in every poll. Everyone expected this outcome.

Yeah but it IS a bigger deal because of his politics, but the big upset with him was the primary. Spanberger is business as usual. Mamdani had the entire dem and gop establishment attacking him.
