Tomorrow's frontpage
Front page of The New York Times, dated Wednesday, November 5, 2025. The headline reads: “Mamdani Is Elected Mayor, Capping Ascent.” Sub-headline: “First Muslim to Lead the City — A Triumph for Progressives.” Large central photo shows Zohra Mamdani smiling and walking outside among supporters and press, with cameras and phones pointed toward him. He is wearing a white shirt, black blazer, and campaign button, holding papers and waving. A crowd surrounds him, some taking pictures. Caption beneath: “New York City — Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday. The Democratic mayoral nominee defeated Andrew M. Cuomo and other candidates.” On the left bottom corner, another photo shows Mikie Sherrill hugging a supporter in New Jersey after winning a governor’s race. On the right bottom corner, a photo of Abigail Spanberger clapping on stage in Virginia after her gubernatorial win. Article text highlights Mamdani’s historic election as New York City's first Muslim mayor, his progressive platform, strong support from immigrant and working-class communities, and comparisons with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whom he defeated. Mentions national implications, turnout from South Asian and Muslim voters, his housing and social safety net policies, and broader Democratic wins nationwide. Weather and NYT slogan appear at the top; price listed as $4.00.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him.

Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it.

This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response.

Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.
