Mamdani is winning with over 50% of the vote; even if you add up Cuomo and Sliwa's vote it still loses to him.

Cuomo gave a fairly graceless concession speech, and Mamdani rips his skin off:

"My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo the best in private life. But let tonight be the last time I mention his name."

Yeah man good luck with that

really important element of this basically total victory is that it puts the fear of god in republican incumbents and may bring the redistricting push to a total halt

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction — at least for the next few years — of the virginia republican party. lmao.

REPUBLICANS, TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER! GET BACK TO PASSING LEGISLATION AND VOTER REFORM! President DJT

Trump responds to Republicans getting drubbed tonight by calling for "VOTER REFORM" 🤔

“TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to Pollsters.

I got bad news for Trump about every election going forward from now until the end of time

This Donald Trump post says the government shutdown is one of the reasons Republicans are losing today’s elections.

Excited to see what bonkers thing Trump will do to push tonight's blue wave out of the headlines

this is the most successful a CIA officer has been at toppling a government in years.

Can we call tonight the Ballroom Blowout?

So, wait, maybe it’s ok for Dems to be decent and compassionate and tolerant and, yes, even woke. And all that stuff about us having to meet them halfway down the hatefulness highway was just…bullshit? Odious horrible bullshit.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.

But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.

You can’t negotiate with people like that.

After years of decline, 18–29-year-olds delivered a 35-point margin for @SpanbergerForVA — the biggest for Dems since 2017.

Older voters barely moved, but young voters anchored the Democratic turnaround.

i guess we will never know if they were ICE or not

It’s a “fact” through the sheer Triumph of the Will.

Note two important things here:

Jones defeated an incumbent, AG Jason Miyares.

And, this means one less key AG siding with Trump — and another AG and AG's Office that will be litigating against Trump.

We have evidence now going back to 2018 that when Trump isn't on the ballot, it's grim scenes for Republicans.

And he'll never (lawfully) be on the ballot again.

One thing I've wondered about is whether the GOP even wanted to win the VA GOV race. Take nothing from Spanberger who ran a great race. But the GOP could have run a real candidate and lost by at least a bit less.

Of course, this is precisely why we expect law enforcement to wear badges and uniforms and show identification. Anyone could have foreseen (and many of us did) that this would be a serious side-effect of ICE's insistence on behaving like unaccountable thugs.

How are Democrats not immediately suing CBS News over this?

Raise your hand if your brain is sufficiently capable of complex thought to understand why advocating an explicitly Christian volunteer military is not ideal.

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

Astounding levels of aggression against obviously nonthreatening nonviolent protestors and bystanders. Border Patrol and ICE are so fundamentally broken as institutions.

The Canada-U.S. Trade War Is Pushing Carney Closer to Xi The two leaders’ expected meeting in South Korea marks a thaw in their countries’ relations as the U.S. trade war hits them both

It's so unfair that people accuse Trump of belligerence when he's working this hard to bring hostile nations together.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

The WHITE HOUSE N ARTICLES President Trump's Top 100 Victories for People of Faith The White House September 8, 2025 Promises Made, Promises Kept. Since taking office, President Donald J. Trump has made history again and again for the faith community. Since the founding of our nation, nobody has fought harder or gained more for believers, reversing the catastrophic policies of the previous administration while building on the winning legacy of his first term. President Trump has

“America is a country defined and enriched by its faith communities…not THOSE ones, however.” It’s an American story as old as time, the Know Nothings, the KKK, and now this.

Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer X.com I've been warning the GOP this is going to be the biggest issue on the ballot in 2026 and 2028... I also told President Trump. Let's see what happens. Allie Beth Stuckey @conservmillen •1d I asked my 840k Instagram followers (mostly Christian women) what their biggest concern is for the country right now, and by FAR the most common answer is the growing influence of Islam. I'd like to see this concern reflected in the GOP asap 7:46 PM • 10/26/25 • 300K Views

Muslims comprise about 1.3% of the US population. If they can indeed make this an issue that can shift millions of votes, then the American electorate (and the opposition to MAGA) is a lost cause.
