I feel electric, I feel amazing. I feel like being uncompromising in your values, whether it be about touching that third rail of speaking out against Israel or primarily focusing on affordability in your campaign strategy, turns out very effective. Piker added: It's something that I know you know, it's something I have spoken to every f*cking Democrat about. Can I curse on Zeteo? I am sorry.

The thing about off-year elections is that there are so few of them that it's tempting to over-interpret their significance. That's particularly true when the key races are viewed as tests for a Democratic Party that is terrified about its past and future and unsure of its identity. Right now the four off-year contests that are getting the most national attention are the mayoral race in New York City, gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, and the Prop 50 retaliatory gerrymandering ballot initiative in California.

The 34-year-old lawmaker is in the final stretch of a contentious mayoral race against two key opponents former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa at a pivotal moment for the LGBTQ community. The Trump administration has worked ferociously to roll back trans rights since returning to the White House in January, and New York is not immune from that effort.

I think the most important thing is, [New Yorkers] feel the city is headed in the wrong direction. There's a sense of chaos, the city's out of control, the city's in decline. And that's how I feel also, by the way. We have problems, there's no doubt about it. Yeah, we have a president in Washington who poses a real threat, but we can handle this. We are New Yorkers. We are a special breed.

"It was not Zohran Mamdani's debate performance. It was Curtis Sliwa's statement after the debate that he is not leaving that has tipped the odds to 90% for Mamdani," Ackman wrote on X.

I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities,

One of the most closely watched elections this fall is New York City's mayoral race. But New York voters will also weigh in on a lesser-known proposal that could move future city elections to even-numbered years. It's part of a growing trend to consolidate election dates adding local races to the ballot during presidential and midterm elections. Proponents of the effort say it counters persistently low turnout for local elections, despite concerns about local issues and candidates getting overshadowed.

Calling herself a "staunch capitalist," she said she would sit down soon with Mamdani and make some things clear. "The city of New York, as powerful and mighty as it is, is still a subdivision of the state, so any tax increase has to come across my desk first." Mamdani, of course, campaigned on tax increases including a new tax on millionaires and an increase in the state's corporate tax rate.

The leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America are rallying behind socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani, targeting minority voters to counter front-runner Andrew Cuomo.
