Zohran Mamdani wins New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary

No matter what happens today, don’t lose hope. The chaos and corruption on display isn’t the end of the story.

In November, we get to choose a better path, and that path is taking our city back.

The Associated Press is reporting that "Zohran Mamdani has won New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, a new vote count confirmed Tuesday, cementing his stunning upset of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and sending him to the general election." Cuomo was a scoundrel too.

OMG as Curtis Sliwa declares "Zohran Mamdani is a complete lunatic. While our neighborhoods are being torn apart by crime, chaos, and filth, Mamdani and his elite Democrat buddies in Park Slope sip their lattes and cheer it on. Homeless addicts take over our subways. Violent criminals roam free. New York’s streets look like a war zone. And Mamdani? Leading the charge to defund the police and dismantle public safety."

"I urge you to donate to my campaign now to stop the Marxist takeover of NYC. NYC Democrats could have chosen a moderate who supports cracking down—instead, they chose this clown. Tired of crazed progressives ruining New York City? Tired of more crime, dirtier streets, and unaffordable living?"

"Curtis Sliwa will stand for law and order, clean up our streets, and bring down the cost of living. We won’t tolerate crime and homelessness destroying New Yorkers’ lives."

How will confronting crime reduce the cost of living? Wait 'till I tell ye. Look at the history of the New York Model. Giuliani confronted violent street crime and made New York safe. More businesses moved back as a result which allowed him to lower taxes. Bill De Blasio destroyed all that. Which way do you want to go? Forward or backward? The choice is crystal clear.

Update: Curtis Sliwa adds "Last week, marked one of the darkest days in New York’s history. A city once seen as the pinnacle of Western civilization has fallen. Radical Democrats have elected a man who is not only extreme but also completely unqualified to be our mayor." 

"This isn’t politics as usual. This is madness. From demanding government-run grocery stores to supporting the legalization of prostitution and drug use, Mamdani is the face of the Democratic Party's insane new reality. The far-left isn’t knocking at the door — they’ve kicked it in and taken control."

"Doubling down on the failed policies of yuppie progressives in Park Slope and the Upper West Side will not save our city. We need to restore sanity and common sense. With your support, Curtis Sliwa will bring our city back from the brink of catastrophe."
