The fact that New York gave broad support to Mamdami is seen tonight as a punishment against Trump and his racist policies, which attack the poorest to favor the country’s billionaires.
Mexico City, November 4 (However).- Zohran Mamdamiand democratic socialist 34 years old, Muslim y migrantit will be Mayor of New York (NY), the most powerful city in USA and symbol of capitalism in the world.
In one of the elections with the greatest participation in the last five decades in the state of New York – more than two million voters–, Mandani destroyed his Republican opponent, Andrew M. Cuomoby whom the President himself Donald Trump asked to vote this Tuesday morning.
Zohran Mamdami’s victory becomes a resounding defeat for Donald Trump, also from NY, and who in recent months denigrated the Muslim politician and even threatened New Yorkers with taking away federal funds if Mamdami won.

Mamdani cast his vote at Frank Sinatra High School in Queens, accompanied by his wife, Rama Duwaji. His team confirmed that the politician voted for himself in the Working Families Party box, with which he maintains an alliance, and not directly in that of the Democratic Party.
The polls closed around 9:00 p.m., but during this day the candidates continued to actively campaign, unlike other countries where the Law prohibits electoral promotion during voting day. New York’s election process coincides with state elections in Virginia and New Jersey, as well as a referendum in California on redistricting.
Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised in New York, has become the most representative figure of the progressive wing of the local Democratic Party. His approaches on social justice and economic redistribution have earned him support among young people and migrant communities, although they have also exposed him to criticism from conservative sectors.
One of Mamdani’s proposals includes freezing rent increases for rent-controlled apartments for four years, since one of the city’s main problems is the rising cost of living.
In a recent interview with Fox Newsthe legislator rejected accusations of anti-Semitism arising from his criticism of the Israeli offensive in Gaza, calling it “a violation of International Law,” and stressed that he also condemns the Hamas attacks. “Defending human rights has nothing to do with religion, but with principles,” he said.
To many observers, Mamdani embodies the progressive revival of the Democratic Party in the city. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez described him as “a figure who represents hope at a dangerous time for the country.”
Candidates Silwa and Cuomo cast their votes
Former Governor Andrew Cuomo ran as an independent candidate with the backing of President Donald Trump and cast his vote in the morning at the High School of Art and Designen Midtown East, Manhattan.
Republican Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, had already voted early on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. This morning he was seen at Christopher Columbus High School in Parkchester, The Bronx, greeting voters accompanied by Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato. Sliwa had campaigned with a message focused on citizen security and immigration control, seeking to attract conservative voters in traditionally Democratic districts.
The political environment is marked by the resignation of Mayor Eric Adams for re-election, who left office amid pressure from federal investigations and questions about his management. According to a survey of Fox Newsthe cost of living is the issue that most concerns New York voters, followed by housing and safety. The final results could be known in the next few hours, although the Electoral Board has warned that mail-in votes could delay the total count.
Trump threatens voters
On the eve of the second New York (NY) Mayoral elections, President Donald Trump issued a threat to voters, in order to cut off the growing sympathy of Zohran Mamdani.
“If communist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the New York Mayoral election, it is highly unlikely that he will allocate federal funds, except the bare minimum, to my beloved first residence,” Trump declared in a post on Truth Social. “As President, I don’t want to waste money.” “With a communist in charge, the situation can only get worse, and as President, I do not want to continue wasting money. It is my obligation to govern the nation, and I am firmly convinced that New York City will be a complete economic and social disaster if Mamdani wins,” he insisted.
Instead, the Republican explicitly asked New York City residents to vote for Andrew Cuomo instead of Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani in the Mayoral election.
The mogul’s endorsement of former New York Governor Cuomo’s independent candidacy came on the eve of the election, in which Curtis Sliwa is the Republican candidate and in which Assemblyman Mamdani has consistently maintained a solid lead in the polls.
Trump’s comments echo those he made Sunday during his appearance on the show’s “60 Minutes.” CBSin which he said: “It’s going to be difficult for me as President to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you send there.”
