Democratic (socialist/fascist) State Assemblyman Zohran K. Mamdani, of new york, wins the Democratic nomination for Mayor of New York City with 44% of the first round of voting, against also-rans:

• 36% – former governor Andrew M. Cuomo of new york;
• 11% – Comptroller Bradford S. Lander, of New York City; and
• 9% – spread out among eight other candidates.

       NOTE: Due to the rules of Ranked Choice (Instant Run-Off) Voting, by which voters are allowed to rank all candidates according to their personal preferences, instead of being limited to voting for only one candidate, Mamdani won with 56% against Cuomo with 44%.

       Republican (fascist/socialist) President Trump berates Israel and the Republic of Iran for having violated the ceasefire he imposed on both nations the day before: “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f___ they’re doing.”

       NOTE: Trumpy’s foul language did not seem to hurt his standing among theo-conservative dominionists.
