Obama said ‘the future looks a little bit brighter’ while the House speaker lied about New York mayor-elect’s policies
Left-leaning Americans awoke to a rare recent moment of political celebration with Democratic victories in several elections across the country, led by the election of Zohran Mamdani as the next mayor of New York, while Republicans breathlessly predicted the end of the country.
“The future looks a little bit brighter,” Barack Obama wrote on X about Democratic victories on Tuesday. “It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win.”
It’s amusing how much time and energy the GOP is wasting on one race that was just a mayoral race. Aren’t they elected representatives of large swaths of people who aren’t in New York City? Don’t those people have problems and issues that need addressed? How does Greg Abbot’s snarky comment help the people of Texas? How does any Senator/Representative wasting time on Zorhan Mamdani help get the government open again?
“Just a mayoral race.”
Yeah, but NYC has a larger population than 38 of the 50 states.
I suspect that some of the senior leadership of the Democratic Party are actually shitting down their legs at the implications of Mamdani’s victory. The party might be expected to actually start doing things for non-billionaires. The horror!
