Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

    Appalling. Only the repugnicans would stoop this low. He’s been American since 2018. If they succeed in this - the US is truly Germany in the early 1930s.

      The US is already there. We arrived about 2-3 months ago.

          There was an Italian socialist politician called Giacomo Matteotti who got disappeared after he spoke up against the fascist regime. It marks the turning point for the Italian dictatorship. If this century is truly a Disney bad reboot of the previous, we could be seeing some similarities with Mamdani.

          I doubt entrenched powers would let the mayor of the biggest US city actually do anything radical like what he campaigned for. Capitalists will collaborate with politicians to either have him removed or make him woefully inefficient. It will definitely be an uphill battle.
