Zohran Mamdani, a New York State Assemblyman, has won the Democratic Party primary for November's New York mayoral elections with 43.5 percent of the vote against 36.4 percent for Andrew Cuomo, his closest challenger, according to The Associated Press. However, President Trump and MAGA Republicans are not happy with Mamdani's victory, labeling him a "100% communist lunatic" and calling for his deportation.
