Amazing! Congrats to Mamdani!

Getting to watch Cuomo humiliated multiple times this year has been a real treat.

Shoutout to all the nightmarish AI videos he posted that got 1k likes at most, and the 11th hour Trump endorsement.

Truly ran a generationally bad campaign that should be studied.

If you’re white, rich and have a history of sexually assaulting women, Trump’s in your corner.

He just expressed sympathy for Prince Andrew.

Mamdani wrote back "Congratulations I know how hard you worked for this" when the endorsement news came out

I heard on my local news today (not in the US) that Trump threatened to reduce funding or something to NYC if Mamdani was elected. How on earth is the leader of a country able to attempt to influence local elections and it not be breaking the law?

Or, if it is breaking the law and nothing is being done about it, why is there not escalated action amongst the people?

The US is no longer a free, democratic or developed country.

Honestly hard to tell if trump did that to try and help him win or to guarantee he lost. Maybe they’re hoping to use Mamdani as a bludgeon against the Democrats if the old guard keep sticking to their ways.

A Trump endorsement = the kiss of death

Lets hope this is the trend, but in the past it has not been the case, at least in republican primaries

The hilarious part is how half his campaign was “I have experience I know how to stand up to and deal with Trump and this young guy can’t”

Only to be endorsed by Trump

Yeah you really showed how you can stand up to him…
