"We’ve long known that young women are the emotional beating heart of today’s Democrat party. We also know that, while minority voters are shifting to support for Trump (no surprise, given that Democrat policies have made their lives significantly worse), more affluent, college-educated white voters remain loyal.
"That same trend showed itself in the ranked-choice voting that put Mamdani over the top:"...

How bad is Zohran Mamdani for New York? Let us count the ways "Mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani wants to spend $65 million in taxpayer funds on transgender treatment — including for minors — if he’s elected to lead New York City.
"The Queens assemblyman, who is locked in a close race with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s Democratic primary, says on his campaign website that the money would be funneled to public providers to help transgender New Yorkers." . . .
He has pushed for city-run food stores that would cost about $60 million, as well as free buses ($900 million) and child care (at least $5 billion).. . .
"The lefty lawmaker also wants to create a new department of public safety that would cost around $450 million."He claims the pricey endeavors would be paid for by spiking corporate taxes from 7.25% to a steep 11.5% and placing a 2% flat tax on the wealthy."That plan would require the approval of the state Legislature and Gov. Kathy Hochul, who has vowed not to raise taxes — warning that doing so would help fuel an exodus of New Yorkers to states such as Florida." . . .
NYC mayoral primary delivers worst of all possible outcomes with Zohran Mamdani . . . "He rose by capturing the imagination and expressing the grievances of young people who feel they are being priced out of New York.
"He was up against a large, lackluster field and delivered a strong social media presence where he often seemed to be having fun.
"He said from the beginning his campaign was about affordability, and he’s right — but not in the way he intended."It’s that the city cannot afford his ideas.
"Similarly, his refusal to acknowledge that Israel is the rightful homeland of Jews is a key plank in what can fairly be deemed a hostile view of the lone Jewish state.
"He supports the BDS movement and refuses to condemn the “Globalize the intifada” movement, which is about targeting Jews around the world.
"On the way to his stunning victory, Mamdani has put a dagger in the political career of Andrew Cuomo, whose results so far have dramatically underperformed expectations and poll predictions." . . .
"Andrew Cuomo’s political comeback is officially dead. The former New York governor conceded Tuesday’s Democratic primary for New York City mayor to Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist who rose a wave of far-left energy to victory. The message from Democrat voters was loud and clear: the old guard is no longer welcome.
"Cuomo’s loss isn’t just about one race in one city; it is a warning sign for Democrats nationwide. It proves the deep rift within the party has only widened since their disastrous 2024 presidential bid, when party leaders pushed Joe Biden out of the race and hastily elevated Kamala Harris as their replacement candidate. That chaos left behind a party fractured between two very different visions for the future, and Mamdani’s win is just the latest skirmish in an ongoing civil war.
"On one side is the activist Left, which is young, aggressive, and unapologetically ideological. These are the voters and organizers who idolize Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, chant for climate revolution, and see American capitalism itself as the enemy. They want change, not compromise. Zohran Mamdani, backed by a slate of progressive celebrities and campaigners, is one of their rising stars. He comes across to his constituents as a true believer.
"On the other side is the Democrat establishment — people like Cuomo, Harris, and Nancy Pelosi — who still think political power comes from working deals in backrooms and courting donors at cocktail parties. They’re increasingly out of step with their party’s base, and Cuomo’s defeat reaffirmed that. He didn’t just suffer a surprising loss; he got trampled by a woke movement that sees him as a symbol of everything wrong with politics: ambition without belief and power without principle." . . .
