The literal Democratic Party account is endorsing Zohran Mamdani.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

ONE OF US

Zohran's campaign was the best I've ever seen I was introduced to him with this clip and was intrigued by his willingness to actually fight for us. So I went to his website - impeccable Design - 10/10 Videos - game changing Debate answers - prepared & charismatic Speeches - meeting each moment

School drop off like: HELLO CITY AND EVERYONE WHO SHARES MY VALUES

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Best thing to come out of this race is the Brad Lander & Zohran Mamdani bromance. Look what happens when we can collaborate and support each other, instead of falling into the trap that we're rivals.

This was the first time I and many others across the country had ever heard of Zohran Mamdani it’s almost like being brave and having a moral compass can pay off politically…

There’s just so much: the victory of a new political talent, the loss of an old tyrant, the possibilities of alliance & positive strategizing, the hope for a more just future, the cracking of the last generation’s stranglehold on power. Also the joy and force of Tish James! Listen to her voice!

he’s about to speak if you’re still up. tune in. I’m weeping.

I can't emphasize enough how ugly and pervasive and persistent the "Mamdani hates Jews" campaign was. I'm happy that so many Jews stood strong against that vileness. Maybe people will start to understand that we've had it with being treated as a paranoid, easily manipulated single-issue bloc.

this was the moment

Will the national media admit that Andrew Cuomo's attempts to make this a referendum on Israel totally backfired and Zohran Mamdani's intense focus on housing and public transit won it?

god tonight is enjoyable.

Clinton, Clyburn, Summers, Palantir, Bloomberg, NYT, Wall St, AIPAC...all tried their best. The entire establishment went full racist and Islamophobic in the end. Still Mamdani won. Biggest F U to the Democratic Establishment and 1% since AOC win. Wow.

Primary every Democrat who is not meeting this moment. Get rid of them all.

FYI, we likely won't find out the results of the NYC mayoral election for another week. Tonight we're only expecting to get the results from the *first round* of ranked-choice voting.

the pattern here where mamadani will pull out to an early lead and then watch the lead slowly decline as election day votes are counted, with cuomo almost certainly taking the lead, but by how much exactly he leads winding up being determinative, feels maximally excruciating

BRUTAL

Demand an affidavit ballot and submit it. Your vote will count.

Me: Don't rank Cuomo!!! Cashier: Sir this is a Wendy's in New Orleans, Louisiana

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Another NYC reminder: We will not know who wins the primary tonight. We will not know until at least July 1! That will ensure every ballot is counted & ranked choice voting works as it should. It will be close - in 2021, the last round was decided by ~7000 votes. No panic!

Best thing to come out of this race is the Brad Lander & Zohran Mamdani bromance. Look what happens when we can collaborate and support each other, instead of falling into the trap that we're rivals.

13 women risked their safety and livelihoods to reveal how Andrew Cuomo treated them. It’s easy to forget just how bad it was—so let their words remind you. And share them with any voter you know who’s still on the fence. (and, help us run this as a final ad: actblue.com/donate/dream...)

Texting all of my NYC friends about voting and saying NO to Cuomo. It's this easy, folks! @notandrewcuomo.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @bradlander.bsky.social @nywfp.bsky.social @lindseyboylan.bsky.social

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

Deeply respect Lander for spending the final days of the campaign going completely kamikaze on stopping Cuomo
