Zohran Mamdani beats Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa in NYC mayor's race

Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York City, capping the Democrat’s stunning ascent from little-known state lawmaker just a year ago to one of the most talked-about politicians in the country. Mamdani, a 34-year-old assembly member, defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in Tuesday’s election. With the victory, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa. He will also become the city’s youngest mayor in more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1.

I would prefer to have had this notice BEFORE the journey time and not 34 minutes later.

Just sayin...

On November 6th, 2024, I woke to a shocking new reality. It was a stark reality I assumed was behind us, one that I feared. I’ve been in a state of disbelief since then and still am to this day.
