Nixon, a continued critic of Cuomo, expressed her excitement for voting for Mamdani, who later won a decisive primary, marking a notable upset against cuomo, whom many once viewed as the frontrunner. the results prompted celebrations from Nixon and various supporters, showcasing a significant shift in New York City&#8217;s political landscape.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Grenell blasts Cynthia Nixon&rsquo;s support for Mamdani as &lsquo;moronic&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2158155\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former U.S. Ambassador <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/richard-grenell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Richard Grenell\">Richard Grenell<\/a> slammed actress and progressive activist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/cynthia-nixon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Cynthia Nixon\">Cynthia Nixon<\/a> on Wednesday, calling her support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"New York City\">New York City<\/a> mayoral candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/zohran-mamdani\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Cynthia Nixon\">Zohran Mamdani<\/a>&rsquo;s socialist policies &ldquo;moronic.&rdquo; This follows Nixon&rsquo;s viral Election Day video endorsing Mamdani&rsquo;s plan for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/la-teachers-want-free-child-care-before-returning-to-in-person-learning\/\" title=\"LA Teachers Want ...
