Voters Give Gavin Newsom Green Light To Gerrymander California

California voters handed Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom a major win on Tuesday evening by signing off on his partisan gerrymandering proposal to create more Democratic-friendly House seats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The Associated Press (AP) projected Proposition 50’s passage almost immediately after polls closed at 8:00 p.m. PT. CNN also called the race […]

So a Socialist Will Be Mayor of New York. Now What?

So a Socialist Will Be Mayor of New York. Now What?

Well, the unthinkable happened in New York City. Democrat Zohran Mamdani, an open socialist fond of quoting Karl Marx, defeated his rivals to take command of the Big Apple. New York politics have often veered to the left, but it’s still a stunning moment even if this outcome has been expected for months. Mamdani’s victory will certainly have a major effect on the Democratic Party nationally. Mamdani’s triumph is a victory for Democrats who think that the problem with their party is that it isn’t left-wing enough and that victory all comes down to messaging rather than their nationally unpopular ideas. It’s certainly a major win for the Bernie Sanders/AOC faction. While Mamdani can’t run for president, it shouldn’t be a surprise if someone from that orbit made a serious run at the White House in 2028. Party leaders might not be able to tamp down on this impulse anymore. And what’s the future of the “financial capital” of the United States under the leadership of a Democratic Socialists of America member? A city as large and complex as New York isn’t likely to suddenly and entirely unravel overnight. That would be placing too much importance on a single election. But there will be some bad immediate short-term effects and some far worse long-term ones. Mamdani’s rent-freeze idea will likely just cause renters to withhold inventory, as they’ve done in the past, making the “affordability” problem worse. Maybe he eventually sets up a government-run grocery store or two, no doubt to great fanfare. He’ll certainly have a slick social media video to promote the opening (though not the likely eventual closing after years of mismanagement). The clearest change for the Big Apple that will almost certainly happen under Mamdani is a deterioration of the small gains in law and order the city has experienced in the last year. Police deployments to crime hotspots in the city are likely to decline. Many long-time NYPD officers will almost certainly leave the force. Whether Mamdani and the City Council actively defund the police or not may be of little consequence since the mayor will have a great deal of control over how the police will be used. Many causes of crime and disorder will be catered to rather than curtailed. For instance, Mamdani’s answer to the street vendor issue on Canal Street, which became a national story when Immigration and Customs Enforcement cleaned it up and detained those suspected of being in the country illegally, was essentially to decriminalize the practice. Mamdani has promised to turn the subway into something akin to a homeless shelter and will undoubtedly make travel on it increasingly dangerous. You are probably more likely to be stabbed or assaulted on a bus ride going forward, but at least they will be “free,” I guess. His plan to address crime in the city is to hire more social workers. It’s similar to former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s ThriveNYC program, which turned out to be a failure and a scam. Not that Mamdani or his enthusiastic supporters care too much about the lessons of history. And maybe most ominous of all, the mayor and the already radical City Council will most likely put the demands of the activist class at the top of the queue of priorities. He owes them. Here’s far-left activist Linda Sarsour saying she will “hold Zohran accountable” and keep him to his promise to eliminate NYPD’s Strategic Response Group, which is an elite counterterrorism unit that handles the policing of riots in the city. ?@FoxNews: Zohran Mamdani mentor Linda Sarsour says she won’t work in City Hall if he wins but will “hold Zohran accountable” on promises, like making NYPD chief Jessica Tisch kill a unit that polices protests. She says Tisch “has to” obey Mamdani.Read: https://t.co/xGfsnu78iY pic.twitter.com/vSXeqMNme7— Asra Nomani (@AsraNomani) November 3, 2025 It’s outright chilling to think about what this will mean for the city. Just because President Donald Trump negotiated the end of the Israel/Hamas conflict doesn’t mean that protests in the city will stop. A report by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy warned of the potential for an explosion of antisemitic incidents as a result of Mamdani’s victory. “He has repeatedly declined to condemn the slogan ‘globalize the intifada,’ ignoring the fact that the word ‘intifada’ is synonymous with terror attacks, suicide bombings, and incitement to kill Jews,” the report noted, according to Fox News. It highlighted his lengthy set of connections to radical Islamists and concluded that “the antisemitic discourse of Mamdani will inevitably lead to increased hate and violence.” The changes that will happen to New York will make it a worse place to live in, a worse place to visit, and an increasingly festering wound rather than a great but complicated city that Americans often love and hate. It would not at all be surprising if there is a long-term exodus from the city. And I fear those who put Mamdani in office are unlikely to learn their lesson, no matter how poorly he does in office. They can always find someone to blame. If the city strains under financial ruin, they will demand a bailout from the state and the federal governments. Trump is unlikely to help, but will leaders in Albany let the city sink? So while you could see this train wreck coming for months, it is still a sad moment for New York and the country.

Parental Rights, Election Integrity Among Key Ballot Measures Across the Country

Parental Rights, Election Integrity Among Key Ballot Measures Across the Country

Texas voters approved a first-in-the-nation parental rights initiative Tuesday.  Lone Star state voters also approved a state constitutional amendment requiring citizenship to vote in the state. Meanwhile, Maine voters rejected an election reform measure that included adopting voter ID.  Voters in six states decided on 24 statewide measures on Tuesday, according to Ballotpedia, a handful of which had national consequences. Of the total, 17 were proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution. Parental Rights Texas’ Proposition 15, which adds parental rights to the state constitution passed, The Associated Press projected after 10:30 p.m. This means parents will have the final authority over their children’s care and upbringing. Texas will become the first state to add such a measure to its constitution, though it is among 26 states that have a “parents’ bill of rights” in the law.  The amendment will make Texas the best place to raise children, said Andrew Brown, vice president of policy for the Texas Public Policy Foundation, who helped draft the amendment for approval in the legislature.   “It’s significant that Texas will be the first state to affirm in its state constitution the sanctity of the parent-child relationship that the U.S. Supreme Court and the Texas Supreme Court already upheld for 100 years,” Brown told The Daily Signal. He noted that protects children. “Child protective services functions to protect children from harm or the danger of harm is a legitimate state police power,” Brown said. “In the language of the amendment, it’s clear than parental rights derive from parental responsibilities to care for their children.” The amendment could affect matters such as gender policies, contraception, and other controversial matters in schools.  The measure had unanimous support in the state Senate and broad bipartisan support in the House, with no organized opposition.  “The amendment recognizes what we already know intuitively, but freedom is fragile,” Jonathan Covey, director of policy for Texas Values. “Parents have the right to protect their children today under court precedent. But going 10 to 15 years from now, if a judge changes his mind, or if we have a different culture, it could remove it.”  Several conservative groups, as well as the Texas Libertarian Party, supported the measure.  Election Integrity Measures A Maine proposal to adopt voter ID and other election security measures failed, according to The Associated Press.  Maine is an outlier, as 36 other states have some form of voter-ID requirement. Of those, 24 require photo IDs. Opponents of the measure led the money race, raising $2.6 million, compared with $649,000 raised by supporters, according to Ballotpedia.  “It’s clear that the ballot summary was skewed to avoid addressing voter ID. The secretary of state put her thumb on the scale to shift the discussion away from voter ID,” Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, told The Daily Signal. “Today, opponents are treating this as an attack on absentee voting. Tomorrow, they will call this a defeat for voter ID. This was a deliberate and calculated approach.” In addition to requiring photo ID for voting, Maine’s Question 1 would have also limited each municipality to one ballot drop box. It would further have required a bipartisan group of election officials to collect ballots from drop boxes.  “This shows that voters in Maine saw through the campaign to cast this as something other than voter ID. Poll after poll shows that voter ID is very popular with Democrats and Republicans,” Snead added.  By contrast, voters in Texas approved Proposition 16 to amend the state constitution to ban noncitizens from voting.   “Texas will be yet another state to lock into its constitution that noncitizens should not vote. It’s crystal clear that this is not a controversial issue, and has even passed in blue and purple states,” Snead said. “More states need to put teeth into this issue with laws. This is not controversial.” Already, 14 states have passed similar statewide bans on noncitizen voting. Of those, eight states passed the bans as recently as last November.  The move came in part to stop municipalities from granting voting rights to noncitizens. Local jurisdictions in California, Illinois, Maryland, and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia, have allowed noncitizens to vote in certain local elections, such as for mayor and school board. The measure passed both houses of the Texas Legislature with bipartisan support. Nevertheless, the measure was opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union, Common Cause of Texas, and the state Democratic Party. Gov. Greg Abbott and the Republican Party supported the measure, along with several conservative groups in the state.  Other notable ballot measures included: A gun control measure in Maine passed, despite opposition even from Democrat Gov. Janet Mills. The measure establishes a process for obtaining an “extreme-risk protection order” that will allow family members or law enforcement to ask a court to restrict a person’s access to firearms if the court determines the person poses a danger to others or to themselves. Texans passed a constitutional amendment, Proposition 3, to deny bail for those charged with murder; capital murder; aggravated assault resulting in serious bodily injury performed with a weapon; aggravated kidnapping, robbery, and sexual assault; indecency with a child; and human trafficking. In addition to electing a new mayor, New York City voters also approved a measure to move the city’s elections to coincide with presidential election years beginning in 2028. However, the state constitution requires municipal elections in odd numbered years. So, for the change to take place, the state legislature and voters would have to approve a state constitutional amendment. The catch is that the state still has to sign off, with a state constitutional amendment.  The post Parental Rights, Election Integrity Among Key Ballot Measures Across the Country appeared first on The Daily Signal.

BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Race Goes to Second Tabulation

BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Race Goes to Second Tabulation

The Minneapolis mayor race has proceeded to a second round of vote tabulation in ranked-choice voting. While Mayor Jacob Frey took the lead with 41.8% of the vote (with 98% of the votes counted, according to the Associated Press), he did not cross the threshold of 50% plus one vote, meaning the race moves to the second round of tabulation. State Senator Omar Fateh, the challenger most likely to unseat Frey, received 31.7% of the vote, while Rev. Dr. DeWayne Davis received 13.7%. All other candidates received only 12.8%. In ranked-choice voting, voters select candidates for their first, second, and third choices. If, as happened here, no one candidate clears the threshold to win outright when the first choices have been tabulated, election officials determine which candidates cannot mathematically win. Voters who selected a losing candidate as their first choice will have their second choice counted, and the process continues until one candidate clears the threshold. Mayor Frey, a Reform Jew who is running for his third term, ran as a more pro-police candidate, insisting that Minneapolis needs more police even while he celebrated his program to build out non-police “violence interruptors” in the city. Fateh, a Somali Muslim and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, previously supported a measure to replace the city’s police force, but has since said he would rather supplement officers with non-police responders. While Minnesota’s version of the Democratic Party—the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party—shares near parity with the Republican Party statewide, the DFL and Democratic Socialists of America dominate most Minneapolis politics. A DFL convention endorsed Fateh, but the party later rescinded the endorsement. Shane Mekeland, a Republican in the Minnesota House of Representatives, told The Daily Signal that Fateh is “dangerous.” He recalled a situation where Fateh refused to show up for a house vote, tying up the chamber for 13 hours, until legislators agreed to include his bill in an omnibus spending bill. Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., vetoed the bill when it passed independently, but he could not line-item veto an omnibus spending bill. Mekeland noted that Walz recently campaigned with Frey. “There is no love lost between those two,” the Republican said, referring to Fateh and Walz. Mekeland also suggested Fateh’s support from the Somali community in Minneapolis may win him the governor’s mansion. He cited a Project Veritas video from 2020 in which a Somali man alleged widespread fraud in Minnesota, aiming at supporting Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. Omar emphatically rejected the claims, saying they were not true. Researchers at Stanford University and the University of Washington claimed in an interview with The New York Times that the video was part of a disinformation effort. The original Project Veritas source later backtracked. The Daily Signal has reached out to the Minneapolis Police Department, which reportedly opened an investigation. “There’s a lot riding on this” election, Mekeland told The Daily Signal. “Minneapolis will be gone. It will be over.” Full election results are expected later this week. The post BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Race Goes to Second Tabulation appeared first on The Daily Signal.

California Voters Approve of Newsom’s War Against Trump for 2026 Midterm Control

California Voters Approve of Newsom’s War Against Trump for 2026 Midterm Control

California voters have approved a ballot measure that will change the dynamics of the 2026 midterm elections, according to The Associated Press. The ballot measure, known as Proposition 50, had 73% of voters in favor and 26% of voters opposed at the time The Associated Press called the race. Proposition 50 was pushed by Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a top prospect for Democrats in the 2028 presidential election, and permits the Democrat-majority California Legislature to redraw the Golden State’s congressional districts. Newsom and national Democrats suggest that redrawing California’s congressional districts could help Democrats pick up new seats in the 2026 midterms and thwart President Donald Trump’s agenda for the latter half of his second term. “Republicans got trapped in an ambush with $130 million media blast, paid for by George Soros and allies, raised in 10 weeks, propelled by a large number of angry progressive voters suffering advanced symptoms of [Trump Derangement Syndrome]—to impeach Trump,” Republican National Committeeman from California Shawn Steel told The Daily Signal. Democrats claim that Proposition 50 is a proportionate response to redistricting efforts in red states like Texas, which would likely increase Republican representation in the 2026 midterms.  In many of these red states, however, the state government had retained control over redistricting, whereas California previously changed its constitution to give that authority to an independent commission. In 2010, Proposition 20 altered the state’s constitution to give an independent redistricting commission the authority to draw congressional districts to prevent gerrymandering in the Golden State. Two years prior, California voters had given authority to the commission to draw state legislative districts. Even under the commission system, however, Republicans, such as Vice President JD Vance, have often pointed out that while Democrats received just under 60% of votes statewide in the 2024 presidential election, the state’s congressional representation is over 80% Democrat. While Republicans on the state and national level have not been satisfied with the commission’s results, they have opposed Newsom’s efforts to get rid of the safeguards that remain.  California Republicans, such as vocal Trump opponent former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, campaigned against Proposition 50 because experts predict that five Republican seats will flip Democrat once the commission is done with its work. Considering the midterm implications, money has poured into the race. The pro-Proposition 50 side has spent more than $105 million, while the measure’s opponents have spent less than $50 million. Billionaire George Soros has been one of the biggest boosters of the effort. “Apparently, in another sign of how effective millions of dollars in propaganda can be in fooling people, much of it paid for by Soros-funded organizations, California voters were convinced to reverse what they had previously approved overwhelmingly—trying to reduce partisan gerrymandering in the state,” Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal. Republicans have also condemned Newsom for seeking to deprive Republicans of seats in a shifting national context. While states like Texas have shifted to the right in election cycles since the 2020 census, Democrats’ margin of victory in California has narrowed from nearly 30 points in 2020 to about 20 points in 2024.

Mood at Earle-Sears’ Watch Party Was Upbeat as Possible in Spite of Loss

Mood at Earle-Sears’ Watch Party Was Upbeat as Possible in Spite of Loss

LEESBURG, Virginia—The mood at Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears’ campaign watch party remained largely consistent all night long, even after major news outlets announced her defeat.   “We’re incredibly proud of our candidate and the work that this team has done,” Peyton Vogel, press secretary for Earle-Sears’ campaign told The Daily Signal shortly before polls closed at 7 p.m. in Virginia. Only about an hour later, The Associated Press called the election, declaring Democrat candidate Abigail Spanberger the winner.   A handful of boos could be heard as Fox News announced Spanberger was projected to win the race, but the crowd of Earle-Sears’ supporters did not appear shaken by the news and continued chatting and laughing.   Headed into Election Day, polling showed Earle-Sears, the current lieutenant governor of Virginia, lagging behind Spanberger by at least 4%, according to The New York Times. Spanberger previously served as a member of Congress from 2019 through 2024.   With votes still being counted Tuesday night, but with Democrats in a clear lead, John Whitbeck, former chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, said he hoped Democrats will “take a lot of the good things [Gov. Glenn Youngkin] did and carry it forward.”   “I think one of the things that I saw from [Spanberger] was running away a lot from the far-left policies of the Democrat Party,” Whitbeck said, but he added that he was troubled by the fact that Spanberger did not condemn Virginia Democrat Attorney General-elect Jay Jones for comments he made inciting political violence. Jones also won his race against incumbent Republican Jason Miyares despite leaked text messages in which Jones said he would like to kill a political opponent and his young children.   Four years of Spanberger leadership in Virginia is “going to mean higher prices, higher taxes, [and] we’re probably not going to get rid of the car tax here in Virginia,” Darius Mayfield told The Daily Signal.   “It’s time for our politicians, elected officials, to start focusing on things that we actually agree on,” said Mayfield, who is running for Congress. “There’s a lot of those things, a lot of things that both sides, independents, Republicans and Democrats, agree on.”   The mood never soured as the night carried on, and the crowd of about 200 supporters sipped on wine or coffee and enjoyed light refreshments.   At 9:25 p.m., just about 2-1/2 hours after the polls closed in Virginia, Earle-Sears took the stage to deliver her concession speech.   “We answered the call and gave it all we had,” Earle-Sears said. “We have no regrets. No matter what comes next, big or small, we still pray, ‘Here I am, Lord, send me.’”   Earle-Sears said she called Spanberger, but Spanberger did not answer, so Earle-Sears left her a voice message.   “I asked her to please consider all of us Virginians, that she will represent all of us, not just some of us,” Earle-Sears said. “And I wished her success. If she is successful, Virginia will be successful.”   “I asked her to support policies that will unite us, that will not divide us, that will strengthen our families and keep us safe, and that if I can ever be of help doing that, I’m here. I’m ready to volunteer. After all, apparently, I have nothing else to do,” Earle-Sears said with a laugh.   As of 11 p.m. Tuesday night, with 95% of the votes counted, election results showed Spanberger having won 57.1% of the vote and Earle-Sears having garnered 42.7%, according to The Associated Press.   In the 2024 presidential election, President Donald Trump drew 46.6% of the vote in Virginia, compared with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, who won the state with 51.8% of the vote.   Looking forward to the midterm elections in 2026, Katie Gorka, executive director of America 250 Civics Education Coalition at the America First Policy Institute, said she does not consider Virginia’s gubernatorial election a bellwether.   “Virginia is unique because it has the highest population of government workers, so was particularly impacted by DOGE cuts and the [federal government] shutdown,” Gorka said.   “Also, Spanberger raised twice what [Earle-Sears] raised and Democrat candidates in many other states won’t be able to achieve that fundraising advantage,” Gorka added.   Earle-Sears supporter and actress Olivia Maxwell predicts four years of Spanberger leadership in Virginia will galvanize “logical” people to get more involved in politics.   “The logical, reasonable, empathic kind people of the world are going to become more involved in what’s right and wrong and get more involved in the political movement,” Maxwell said.   Earle-Sears used the final moments of her concession speech to encourage her supporter to “pray for Abigail” and “pray for our government.”   “We must pray for our state, and we must pray for our country,” Earle-Sears said. “God has used us for His purposes.”   The post Mood at Earle-Sears’ Watch Party Was Upbeat as Possible in Spite of Loss appeared first on The Daily Signal.

2025 Election Day Winners and Losers

2025 Election Day Winners and Losers

There’s no sugar-coating it: Sanity had a bad night Tuesday. Democrats, energized by having President Donald Trump to rail against, turned out at the polls and brought some radical candidates across the finish line in key races across the country. Just a brief recap: Muslim Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York mayor’s race. Abigail Spanberger won the Virginia governor’s race. Mikie Sherrill won the New Jersey governor’s race. Even Jay Jones, the Democrat who infamously fantasized about the deaths of Republicans’ children, prevailed in the Virginia attorney general’s race. This doesn’t necessarily bode ill for Republicans in the midterms next year, but it does disappoint those of us who expected better from our fellow Americans. Here’s my list of winners and losers from the night. Winner: Shutting Down the Government Democrats stoked anger by shutting down the government. Sure, technically they just refused to vote for a “clean continuing resolution,” i.e. a spending bill that would have funded the government at Biden levels, but they’re truly the ones responsible for the current impasse. Even the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest government employee union, had urged Democrats to vote to fund the government, but the tactic seems to have worked. Anger over the shutdown seems to have helped Democrats encourage more of their voters to go to the polls. Especially in Northern Virginia, home to many of the disgruntled federal employees who either have to work with no pay or have been anxiously awaiting news of when they can go back to work, the government shutdown may have driven animosity to Trump and support for Spanberger. While the shutdown strategy may have helped Democrats, Senate Democrats may unwittingly reveal that this was an election strategy all along, by finally starting to work with Republicans in the coming days. Winner: Karl Marx Imagine an outright socialist who wants a government takeover of grocery stores winning an election to govern the heart of American capitalism. That’s what we saw Tuesday night. Zohran Mamdani achieved something most Bolsheviks thought impossible, and it bodes ill for the Big Apple going forward. Winner: Political Violence It’s hard to capture just how disgusting Jay Jones’ texts supporting political violence truly were. Jones did not deny reports that he sent messages fantasizing about shooting Todd Gilbert, the Republican former speaker of the House of Delegates. He said he would rather shoot Gilbert twice than kill Adolf Hitler or Pol Pot. He later said he wished Gilbert’s young children would die in their mother’s arms, after warning that Gilbert and his wife were “breeding little fascists.” He sent these messages to a Republican and, when she asked him to stop, he sought to justify these violent thoughts with one sentence: “Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.” This isn’t just a youthful indiscretion: Jones sent these texts in 2022. If anything should disqualify a candidate for political office, it would be text messages like this. Yet not only did Jones remain in the race, but he also eked out a win. This sends a message to any other Democrats who might have fantasized about dead children: Democrat voters won’t consider such things disqualifying. ?SHOCKINGAbigail Spanberger refuses to say whether she still supports Jay Jones despite his political violence texts.Deanna Allbrittin asks repeatedly, but Spanberger does not respond.? pic.twitter.com/gVkeBXjrj2— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 9, 2025 Winner: Pushing Trans in Schools Both Mikie Sherrill, the Democrat who won the New Jersey governor’s race, and Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat who won the governor’s mansion in Virginia, have records supporting the Equality Act, a bill that would force transgender ideology on the country. While Spanberger hemmed and hawed on the issue—suggesting she supports local control, not a top-down approach—Sherrill unequivocally stated that she opposes a parental opt-out for transgender lessons in schools. “I believe that parents have the right to oversee their children’s education,” Sherrill said in a debate. “I would push an LGBTQ education into our schools. Parents have a right to opt out of a lot of things, but this is not an area where they should be opting out, because this is an area of understanding the background of people throughout our nation.” Parents who don’t think that boys become girls just by saying so—and who want to protect their girls from the indignity and danger of boys in girls’ bathrooms and boys competing in girls’ sports—should beware that New Jersey and Virginia are likely to undermine their daughters’ safety and privacy. ?SPANBERGER DODGESTom Schaad directly asks Abigail Spanberger if she would reverse Glenn Youngkin's policy keeping boys out of girls' restrooms. She refuses to answer, when asked repeatedly.? pic.twitter.com/rAPzGa4hYO— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 9, 2025 Loser: Survivors of 9/11 When New Yorkers put their lives back together after the World Trade Center’s destruction on Sept. 11, 2001, they could not have predicted that their beloved city would elect not only a Muslim, but a Muslim who condemns Israel’s actions in Gaza as a “genocidal war” and who declines to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada.” Islam is not incompatible with American freedom—reformers like M. Zuhdi Jasser demonstrate true Muslim patriotism—but Islamism is a threat, and if anyone should know that, it should be New Yorkers. Mamdani may not be seeking to establish a Caliphate, but his unhealthy obsession with Israel raises significant questions. Loser: Glenn Youngkin Virginia’s current governor, Republican Glenn Youngkin, has achieved a great deal in terms of promoting economic growth, unleashing American energy, and lowering taxes. Even so, his legacy will struggle under a Spanberger governorship. He may not have deserved a rebuke at the ballot box, but it is likely his Democrat successor will reverse a great deal of his policies. Loser: New York City Homeowners Even before reports of Zohran Mamdani’s success Tuesday, homeowners in New York City had been relocating to Connecticut. The uncertainty is likely to worsen as residents of the Big Apple realize just what a Mamdani mayorship means. Loser: Charlie Kirk When Charlie Kirk became a free speech martyr in September, I hoped that moment would mark a turning point on political violence, leading all Americans to oppose the demonization of political opponents that encourages hatred against the other side. Yet not two months after Kirk’s assassination, voters in Virginia—the birthplace of presidents—elected a man whose politically violent texts shocked the nation. Apparently, those text messages did not shock Virginians enough to reconsider his candidacy. Words fail me in seeking to describe just how tremendous a shame that is.
