The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

    Don’t Republicans hate New York? You’d think they’d be thrilled with the opportunity for socialism to ruin one of the bluest cities in the US. Maybe they’re worried something else will happen.

      They love New York/Wall Street, because that’s where the money is, but they hate all the liberal artsy stuff.

      Exactly… It’s all so rich coming from these losers who refuse to even enter NYC because Fox News told them it’s warzone or some bullshit.
