Over 1 million New Yorkers voted for Zohran. There's simply no question he has a mandate to govern and realize the policies he campaigned on.

Blessed is the source of life that is good and makes good things happen.
Zohran will be a blessing for NYC -- even to his haters, because that is how being a good leader works.
THANK YOU NYC!

The House is preparing to vote next week on a resolution that would deem “Free Palestine” to be “an antisemitic slogan.”
If anybody votes against this, they’ll say they voted to support the Colorado terrorist attack.
