CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 31, 2025
THE SO-CALLED “OFF-YEAR” ELECTIONS IN NEW JERSEY, VIRGINIA AND ESPECIALLY NEW YORK CITY NEXT TUESDAY WILL TELL US A LOT ABOUT VOTERS LIVING IN THOSE STATES AND THAT CITY.
A POLL JUST OUT FINDS MANY RESIDENTS OF NEW YORK BELIEVE THE CITY WILL SPIRAL DOWNWARD IF DEMOCRAT-SOCIALIST ZOHRAN MAMDANI IS ELECTED MAYOR. DESPITE RECENT MISSTEPS, INCLUDING A VIDEO CALLING NEW YORKERS BIGOTS FOR NOT FULLY ACCEPTING HIM AS A MUSLIM, HE STILL HAS A 15 POINT LEAD OVER ANDREW CUOMO.
EVEN AMONG HIS SUPPORTERS, WHICH INCLUDE A SIZEABLE NUMBER OF JEWISH VOTERS, THE POLL SHOWS MANY BELIEVE MAMDANI WILL MAKE ANTI-SEMETISM WORSE, NOT BETTER.
ASKED FOR ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE WHAT NEW YORK WILL BE LIKE AFTER FOUR YEARS OF LEFT-WING POLITICS, THE POLL SHOWS NON-MAMDANI VOTERS SAY “DISASTER.”
AS LONG AS A CANDIDATE HAS “DEMOCRAT” TIED TO HIS NAME IT APPEARS MOST NEW YORKERS WILL VOTE FOR HIM NO MATTER WHAT. REPUBLICANS BELIEVE MAMDAI WILL BE A GIFT TO THEM BECAUSE IT WILL FORCE OTHER DEMOCRATS TO DEFEND HIM AND HIS POLICIES. WE’LL SEE.
MEANWHILE, GET READY FOR AN EVEN BIGGER EXODUS BY THE WEALTHY AND BIG BUSINESSES. I’M CAL THOMAS.
