Victor Davis Hanson: Zohran Mamdani’s Win Is a Warning for New York

Victor Davis Hanson: Zohran Mamdani Just Won—and It Might Be the End of New York as We Know It

Zohran Mamdani didn’t win because he inspired the people—he won because the system is broken. Victor Davis Hanson tears off the mask: a fringe candidate with anti-Semitic baggage, incoherent Marxist policies, and a history of radical statements just captured a major New York primary. Not through a wave—but through a rigged, ranked-choice maze where 400,000 votes from an unrepresentative elite overrode a city of 5 million.

This wasn’t a victory. It was a warning shot.
