Edit 2: Yeah. Mamdani is a problem. He basically just went into the lion's den and charmed the lion. He managed to stay on message, redirect every gotcha question and give the outwardly appearance that he was agreeable to Trump while not agreeing with him on a single thing. He has the messaging of Vance but the charisma/confidence to go along w/ it. He's got next barring any scandals
Hochul must be happy

This is so trueBecause all he does is not play the game. He knows how to be civil, but as you see not ONCE did he eat his words. Or juelz.
He's AOC without the burden of being a woman. If his tenure as mayor is on point he can easily be in the Senate in the next decade.
i like how you far-left bozos not only fail to name a credible replacement for Hakeem, but also can't name what said replacement would currently be doing, in the powerless minority leader position, that Hakeem is not doingTrump respects power not weaklings like Chuck and Hakeem.
I love it.

uh, no. that would apply in a democrat vs republican matchup. mamdani vs cuomo WAS blue no matter whoWell for one, he could have endorsed (for real, not the bullshyt endorsement on the eve of the election) the winner of the Democratic primary for mayor of NYC. Blue no matter who right?
a democrat was winning regardless. Cuomo was the Democrat governor of New York stateI’m catching up on the press conference with Mamdani and Trump.
Establishment Republicans and Democrats must have been furious.
The hack journalists were trying their best to sprinkle salt in the game, but Trump respects power not weaklings like Chuck and Hakeem.
I love it.
