One of our personal favorite lines from this piece 😂:
A section of the piece, "Democrats Collapsed Here Last Year. How’d Zohran Do?" It reads: Another Elmhurst voter, an Argentine immigrant named Miguel Mendez, described himself as a sometime-Democratic voter. He opposed Trump during his first election and had once been curious about Bernie Sanders, but came around to the Republican nominee by 2024. He believed the neighborhood was deteriorating and that Democrats were more interested in pushing their ideology than in fixing it up. “If it wasn’t the Salvadorans, the MS-13—it was the Tren de Aragua, or even cartels,” he said. “I mean, you can ask anyone over here where the gangs are. You can go to Roosevelt, you see what I mean. The prostitution, it’s everywhere. Mendez chose Curtis Sliwa. (His girlfriend, he said, told him he couldn’t back Cuomo.)
