As Twitchy reported earlier today, socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, in a new pol,l has overtaken disgraced former New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the city’s ranked-choice Democratic primary. “Over five months, Mamdani’s support has surged from 1 percent to 32 percent, while Cuomo finishes near where he began,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is bracing for another wave of New York City refugees if Mamdani is elected:

As our own justmindy reported a couple of weeks ago, Mamdani says he's for getting rid of police officers in high-crime areas and opening up homeless shelters in the subway. During his run for New York State Assembly, he declared that he believed in "socialist feminism" and that defunding the police was a feminist issue. As we also reported, he's suggested government-run grocery stores for the city to lower prices. In other words, New York City is terribly close to making a huge mistake. Electing Cuomo is a huge mistake; electing Mamdani is suicide.
Benjamin Ryan reports for The New York Sun that Mamdani has even more campaign promises. He wants to spend $65 million of taxpayer money on "medical gender treatments" for both adults and minors in the city.
This editor isn't Muslim, so he's not sure if this will thrill the Islamic community backing Mamdani.
Dear God.

I was initially shocked but it computes with Iranian methods of curing homosexuality.

This alone should be disqualifying.

Good to see that he has his finger on the pulse of issues that matter most to the average person.

Mamdani is late to the party. The tide is turning, nobody wants this, and even less having their taxes pay for it. A losing proposition on his part.

The sub-head to Ryan's article says Mamdani wants this funding "in the face of Trump and other right-wing attacks on such access."
it’s not just “right wing attacks”—it’s longtime Democrats too, like me, who want children to grow up with their endocrine systems intact—maybe stop phrasing this as a right vs left issue?

I don't think that framing criticism of this medical buffoonery as "right wing" makes any sense when you look at Finland or the UK, and the Cass report.

Ryan's a health and science reporter and even has a little microscope emoji in his handle.
The Democrats are basically screwed in this race. They have they choice of a degenerate sex pest and a far-left radical…

This is who they've chosen. They'll get what they vote for.
