Zohran Mamdani has won the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Party’s future.
Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, after a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams.
Mamdani focused heavily on affordability, pledging to freeze rent, establish city-owned grocery stores and make buses free for riders. He quickly became a progressive icon as well as a polarizing figure within the party over his positions, so much so that it divided prominent New York Democratic leadership over whether to endorse him.

Billionaire will = thwarted
Billionaire funding = wasted
We have a long slog ahead of us. But today was a good day.
The first thing my conservative acquaintance wrote was “I hope you re ready for another 9-11” because now its coming" They are really scared eh
Happy to see the Cuomo campaign fail and waste all that $$$ in the process. Fuck him
Love to see that Silwa did in fact split the conservative vote, but Mamdani would’ve won anyway.
My mother, the only family that I have left that I will talk to sent me a text asking if any other cities will have a “radical Islamist” mayor. I ignored it because I could not find the words to explain that what she described isn’t a thing without destroying the one connection to my family I have left.
I’m so sorry about that.
Welp time to see Trump flail his arms and cry like the man child he is
His diapers are gonna be ground zero all day today
Congratulations to Americans and new yorkers in particular! Hoping real change for quality of life succeeds
If they would let him get to work it would be great, unfortunately a lot of his energy in the first year will be fighting off Trump and other billionaires trying to remove him or throw roadblocks in his way.
At least he’s not alone. Seems newsom has been battening down the hatches quite fine already on how to fight back
Mayor ≠ Governor of a state
It’s gonna be a different fight
Andrew Cuomo FaD 854,995 wtf new york? that’s 900k too many
Yep, some people hate muslims, socialism, stuff like that.
I’d also wager a number of republicans voted for Cuomo to try and block Mamdani
10 bucks says a lot of that was bum-ass
east jerseyStaten island.Ay, shut it. Jersey remains solid blue. Everyone thought Jersey was going to be a close race and then it wasn’t.
It’s hilarious as a Canadian, I’ve never been to NY but all the way back to watching shows like Seinfeld and other shows from back in the day based in NY, they all talk about Staten Island like it’s a whole different breed of crazy over there.
There’s just so many tears, we need more bottles to catch them all! Cuomo and his crooked donors alone are just zombie walking with mascara running down their face right now.
As someone who lived post 9/11 and saw what the Muslim community went through, this is wild and super cool
I will forever respect Sliwa for sticking it out. He’s a real one. Maybe Mamdani can make him the head of the parade department.
Curtis has great “confused but well-meaning Grandpa” vibes.
He was saying Zohran’s name wrong because he couldn’t remember it. Not because he was being an asshole.
He fell for the AI ad but still defended “cultural differences” as normal (and not a negative).
My point is, he’s wrong about a lot, but I’ll give him credit for trying.
Lowkey feel bad that he got crushed compared to Cuomo.
Thank him for his unnecessary service, again, in splitting the dickhead vote
I started the day with the news that Dick Cheney is dead. Now I’m ending it with news that Zohran Mamdani is mayor. It’s been the best day in a long, long time.
And California passed prop 50!
This will potentially negate Texas’s gerrymandering attempts as thiswill gain up to five house seats for the democrats, and Texas’s bullshit (which required NO vote) also gains up to five seats.
Get fucked, Texas. Fuck you. Good on you, New York. Fuck Trump.
Hold up, vice president headshots died? Howd I miss that?
So few people cared about him that nobodys talking about it.
Today most people I’ve seen online were “THE BASTARD IS DEAD, MARGARET THATCHER CAN FUCK HIM IN THE ASS IN HELL”
Except it’s been talked about everywhere all day. And I’m not even American.
I can only get so erect.
Prop 50 passed in California
Ask your doctor if Cialis is right for you.
why the fuck are they in bath tubs
Why aren’t you?
Mutual jorking
G rated sexytimes implications
Especially their own separate tubs
If I remember the 90s/00s commercial, it’s advertising that cilalis is there when you’re ready for up to 36 hours. So you can enjoy other sensual experiences for the build up. In this case the couple is enjoying a romantic soak as they watch the sun set before sexy time.
archer reference? :p
Dick died on erection day
I don’t believe in prayer, but only an errant McNugget could make this day better.
Here you go
@cyrano@piefed.social From your gifs to the grimrepers cold boney finger.
America’s 43rd President is dead? Wow, what a day!
VOTER FRAUD! There’s NO WAY someone who Campaigned on Helping the Middle Class could BEAT a Sex Offender with Billionaire Sugar Daddies! There’s NO WAY!
Working class, not middle class.
How could a guy that was forced to resign as governor fail to get elected as mayor?!?!
NYT editorial staff in shambles.
End of the world in 30 days!
Your satire is top notch ;)
Plot twist, he’s legitimately angry, and wearing a red hat.
…no, I’m just joking. Don’t flame him.
I bet Trump is already saying that
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of elitists suddenly cried out in terror and suddenly clutched their pearls.
NY billionaires after getting home from their Gatsby weekend and hearing the news
Such a nice sound.
Mr. Cardamom is now mayor of New York… The world may or may not be healing. I will remain cautiously optomistic.
Im Canadian and I heard that some people in NY were peddling the idea that mandatory halal food was going to be forced on all New Yorkers. I doubted the veracity of the story at first thinking I was reading the onion, but I know a bunch of people are stupid and racist enough to believe a racist lie like that
That’s Mayor Cardamom now!
