Zohran Mamdani won a clear victory in the mayoral race Tuesday, but by far less than Democrats usually do; while the numbers aren’t final, at the very least nearly as many New Yorkers voted against him as for him. That’s no sign of faith in the socialist fantasies he’s selling. He certainly has no mandate to ram through a radical agenda.

New York state Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani’s victory Tuesday over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo capped an astonishing anti-establishment campaign by a 34-year-old who was polling at 1% in January. But perhaps even more remarkably, Mamdani defeated the 67-year-old scion of a political dynasty as a proud socialist. Upon his inauguration in January, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America will preside over New York, the financial capital of America, and the country’s biggest and most influential city. Mamdani’s win constitutes the 21st century high-water mark for democratic socialists, after two surprisingly popular Democratic presidential campaigns by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., pushed the Democratic policy platform to the left, inspired a wave of elections of socialists to Congress and state legislatures in the late 2010s and early 2020s, and helped trigger a dramatic surge in membership in the Democratic Socialists of America. Prior to Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, DSA’…

The verdict is in—and it’s ugly. Democrats didn’t just win; they ran the table. But these aren’t your mom and pop’s Democrats—the blue-collar workers who believed in God, family, and the dignity of hard work. No, last night’s victors are the radical heirs of a political faith that worships grievance, deconstruction, and power at all costs. In New York City, an Islamic radical—who openly fantasizes about wiping Jews off the map, confiscating private property, and “socializing groceries”—won by a majority of votes. Think about that. In the greatest city in the world, a metropolis that once symbolized American aspiration and pluralism, a man who despises the very foundations of the Republic now speaks for its citizens. A city where 160 languages are spoken has become less American, more resentful, and disturbingly anti-American. Bill de Blasio and Eric Adams may have failed the city, but this new era is something worse—it’s a rebellion against the idea of America itself.

In a lengthy “60 Minutes” interview, President Donald Trump made false and questionable claims about nuclear weapons testing, inflation and military strikes in the Caribbean Sea. He also repeated numerous misleading claims he has made before on a range of topics. Trump justified telling the Pentagon “to start testing” U.S. nuclear weapons by saying that “other countries are testing.” Russia recently tested two nuclear-capable weapons, but North Korea is the only country to do a nuclear weapon test explosion this century. Trump falsely claimed, “We don’t have inflation. It’s at 2%.” The Consumer Price Index was up 3% for the 12 months ending in September, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The looming Supreme Court showdown over President Donald Trump’s tariffs amounts to an epic clash between two of the most deeply ingrained tenets of the conservative legal movement. The first is that presidents need and are entitled to extreme deference on matters of national security and foreign policy. That precept suggests the six conservative justices may be willing to uphold Trump’s unprecedented move to bypass Congress and unilaterally impose sweeping global tariffs.

Kansas Republicans ended their push to redraw the state’s congressional map that would have gained them one more red House seat. Republican state House Speaker Dan Hawkins announced the move on Tuesday night as Democrats won various elections nationwide.
