CNN commentator Van Jones criticized New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s election-night address, calling it a “character switch” from his calmer campaign persona and a missed chance to broaden support.
Comedian Bill Maher suggested on his HBO show that New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, represents the future of the Republican Party rather than the Democrats. He argued that Mamdani's policies could fuel Republican gains by alienating moderate voters. Maher highlighted historical failures of socialism to underscore his point.
