💬KEY QUOTE: “Voters born in the city backed Cuomo over Mamdani by a margin of 49 percent to 38 percent.” – NBC News

Mamdani, who believes in fringe policies such as defunding the police, abolishing prisons, and imposing higher taxes on “whiter neighborhoods,” will now lead the largest city in the United States, despite having only become a U.S. citizen in 2018.
