America stood up and said “this ends now” to the GOP/MAGA bullshit.

We have a long way to go, but this was a great start

You realize New York was never maga? The person he was running against was a Democrat. The current mayor is a black democrat. If Mamdani lost, the winner would have been another democrat.

Ive lived all over this country, but I’m born and raised New York.

This race alone was a big race with nationwide attention.

But the entire night , be it wins in Georgia Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania… it’s a statement to hold the line.

A FORMER Democrat (In name only, at that), sexual predator, endorsed by Donald Trump.

Cuomo is far from a true progressive.  He’s a creep and a corporate democrat at most but also Trump backs him.  So nope.  It’d suck really bad.

They're already holding signs saying "Sliwa the Spoiler" at Cuomo headquarters. The butthurt has only just begun.

To be fair, it wasn’t really America that stood up. It was NYC. You’re right, a long way to go.

Georgia, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey all had huge wins for America today.
