Trump's WORST FEAR Comes TRUE as It all SLIPS AWAY - Meidas Touch



“Uncovered” host Anthony Davis reacts to the historic New York City election where 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani has been elected the city’s 111th mayor — making him both the first Muslim mayor in NYC history and the youngest in over a century. The progressive Queens assemblyman defeated former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in a stunning upset that marks a major shift in city politics.

Mamdani’s campaign focused on affordability, rent freezes, free childcare, and public transit, drawing massive grassroots support from young voters and working-class communities across the five boroughs. Former mayor Eric Adams dropped out of the race in September, and Attorney General Letitia James called Mamdani’s win a victory for “the sleeping giant” — voters who had never been politically engaged before but turned out for a new generation of leadership.

While Democrats celebrated a nationwide wave of victories, Republicans condemned Mamdani as too extreme, signaling fierce partisan battles ahead. Still, his win underscores a generational and cultural transformation in New York politics — and a new vision for the city’s future. - 11/05/2025.
