Quote of the Day
“If Mamdani is elected mayor of New York, he will become a flagbearer for the Democratic left — especially as New York is the media capital of the nation and its local politics get broadcast coast to coast. But he will also become the perfect boogeyman for a Republican Party desperate to paint its opponents as radical nutjobs. His social media back catalog is already being shared far and wide. The MAGA far right is already attacking his faith. And if you thought Trump vs. Gavin Newsom in Los Angeles was quite a spectacle, just imagine Trump vs. this guy in New York City next year. It certainly won’t be dull.”
