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.

    Sadly, he’s going to lose by a significant amount. The media will smear him and social media will bury him in lies.

    Be idealistic all you want, but we’re going to lose.

      Mamdani is going to lose what? He already won the primary and since he’s running as a Democrat he has functionally won the NYC mayoral race when that happens.

      he might be a socialist and as left as any candidate can be, but somehow, he will institute Sharia law, stone gays, make burka mandatory… because the right is that unfathomably racist
