DeSantis predicts what would happen if Mamdani wins NYC election: ‘Great’ for GOP, ‘bad for New York City’
In a recent commentary that has sparked significant discussion, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis weighed in on the New York City mayoral race, asserting that a victory for Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani would not only be detrimental to the city but also politically advantageous for Republicans nationwide. DeSantis made these remarks while retweeting Elon Musk, who described Mamdani as “the future of the Democratic Party.” The Florida governor emphasized that if Mamdani, a current New York State assemblyman and self-identified “Democratic Socialist,” secures the mayoral position, he would emerge as a prominent figure in the Democratic landscape, potentially shaping the party’s national narrative. DeSantis articulated that voters across the country would have the opportunity to observe Mamdani’s progressive policies in action, which he believes would highlight the broader Democratic agenda and, consequently, bolster Republican prospects in future elections.
As Election Day approaches, with early voting already underway, the contest has garnered national attention, particularly due to Mamdani’s progressive platform. Polls indicate that he is leading against notable opponents, including former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an Independent, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani’s campaign is characterized by ambitious proposals such as free public transportation, free child care, and government-operated grocery stores, all aimed at addressing the pressing needs of New Yorkers. His commitment to housing reform is particularly striking; he promises to freeze rents for stabilized tenants and leverage city resources to tackle the housing crisis. DeSantis’s comments reflect a broader Republican strategy to frame Democratic policies as extreme, potentially mobilizing conservative voters by showcasing what they perceive as the consequences of leftist governance in a major U.S. city. As the race heats up, the implications of Mamdani’s candidacy extend beyond New York, with both parties keenly aware of the potential ripple effects on the national political landscape.
