Mamdani’s mayoral win: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s win within the 2025 New York City mayoral race.
Zohran Mamdani voters pays the price and deserve no matter budget-busting progressive agenda he imposes on them (“Zohran paints the town red,” Nov. 5).
We now have a smooth-talking Marxist — who’s anti-Jewish, anti-cop, anti-business and lacks any expertise in operating this metropolis — as our mayor. You could be sure he’ll get no financial help from the Trump administration.
This is a unhappy day within the annals of New York.

Congratulations, New York City; you elected a Jew-hating, racist, anti-American communist .
You get what you deserve. Me? I’ll be having fun with the peace and tranquility of rural dwelling within the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, removed from lunatics, and spending my trip {dollars} within the lovely Jewish state of Israel. Maybe I’ll ship Zohran the Moron a postcard from Jerusalem.

Everyone is aware of that for hundreds of years, New York City has all the time been the beacon of hope for tens of millions of immigrants which have migrated to the United States of America from everywhere in the world.
Therefore, I believe Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech was distinctive.

It’s true that the election was not an overwhelming mandate for Mamdani (“No ‘Mamdate’ for Zoh,” Editorial, Nov. 5).
He received about 50% of the vote in a metropolis the place 65% of voters are registered Democrats. Still, given his documented anti-Zionist declarations, his election very presumably could also be considered as a license for additional Jewish persecution by the antisemitic pro-Palestine motion.
It can be essential for Mamdani to behave decisively towards any violent threats and demonstrations to show his declare of being a mayor for all New Yorkers.
His declare of equity towards Jews has simply been election rhetoric as far as the Jewish neighborhood is anxious. Will he back it up with actions?

I’m no stranger to political campaigns. I served as East Hampton’s city Republican chairman for 9 years, and my father ran for governor on the GOP line towards Hugh Carey in 1978.
Mamdani’s victory within the mayoral race could also be a shock to some, however his win was not directly aided by the New York Post breaking one of the cardinal guidelines of campaigning: Do not give undue publicity to your opponent.
In an attempt to discredit Mamdani’s efforts, The Post featured him on the entrance web page innumerable occasions, thereby giving him tens of millions of {dollars} of free promoting.
To the uninitiated voter, when you see somebody’s image in a marketing campaign setting enough occasions, it’s possible you’ll need to trend that means on Election Day.

Perhaps the clearest message of all as a outcome of Tuesday’s election outcomes was for the benefit of congressional Republicans: Get off your knees and stop being a rubber stamp for a president who’s out of control, not getting the job performed economically and concurrently angering and horrifying the entire nation.

Most New York City voters purchased what the snake-oil salesman was promoting. Do these voters actually consider that every little thing’s going to be “free”? Elections have penalties, and now the town will see what these penalties are.
I lived virtually the primary 69 years of my life in New York; I’ll by no means set foot within the metropolis ever again.

After President Gerald Ford denied New York a federal bailout 50 years in the past, “Ford to City: Drop Dead” immediately grew to become one of the twentieth century’s most well-known headlines. New York rose from that financial abyss and re-asserted itself because the world’s No. 1 metropolis.
I hope that Mamdani’s time period as mayor doesn’t spell one other need for a federal bailout from a far much less sympathetic president.
