In a fiery speech after his win, the next mayor of New York warned Trump that the city will stand united: "To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

In his first speech as the next mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani made clear he and his city are coming for Donald Trump.

"If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him," Mamdani said at his victory speech in Brooklyn Tuesday night. "And if there's any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power."

"So Donald Trump," he added, "since I know you're watching — I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

“In this moment of political darkness," Mamdani said, "New York will be the light."

JFC that was the right thing to say

I haven’t been excited about American politics for a long time but this guy has me pumped.

Maybe you guys can get yourselves out of this Trump shit after all.

It’s only a spark, but holy fuck is it a big one!

If you want to be even more pumped, check out the PA Supreme court election and Virginia's governor election.

TLDR: PA sided with trump by about 2% in 2024 but chose to retain 3 democratic justices this hear by ~23% each.

VA has had a MAGA candidate as governor since 2021 and they just elected a dem governor by a whopping 15% margin.

Finally, CA has decided to redraw its congressional districts to erase the republican gains from the Texas redraw, and CA did it with a 30% margin.

NJ has had Latino communities that were previously Trump leaning areas swing heavily in favor of dems yesterday, too, which is likely because of increasing CoL and ICE activity in their communities.

All in, democrats not only took every win they were hoping for but absolutely dominated across the board with no close calls.
