Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani&rsquo;s 33 years old, he&rsquo;s a self-described Democratic socialist, and his win, we should point out, has really fueled a hateful response from some on the Right. There&rsquo;s a major MAGA voice named Charlie Kirk, who posted this: &lsquo;24 years ago a group of Muslims killed 2,753 people on 9\/11. Now a Muslim Socialist is on pace to run New York City.&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles actually called for Mamdani, who was born in Uganda, as a naturalized U.S. citizen, to be denaturalized and deported. Jonathan, what does Mamdani&rsquo;s win tell us about Democrats and their message, if anything, and what does the response tell us about Republicans and theirs?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>JONATHAN CAPEHART:<\/strong> <em>Well, the response, I&rsquo;ll start with the Republican response. It&rsquo;s shameful, it&rsquo;s hateful, it&rsquo;s disgusting. It also tells me that Republicans are deathly afraid of their prospects in the 2026 midterm elections. Especially if they&rsquo;re going after a guy who just simply won the primary in a municipal election. The other thing folks need to understand, the reputation of New York City is of a liberal bastion, and it&rsquo;s a city where there&rsquo;s a six-to-one Democratic registration advantage over Republicans. And yet this city, that has a reputation of being a liberal bastion, elected Rudy Giuliani twice and Mike Bloomberg three times, the first time as a Republican, the next two times as an independent. And so, what I take from Mamdani&rsquo;s win, above all else, is that he went out there and asked New Yorkers for their votes. He did not do a Rose Garden strategy. He asked people for their votes, and he gave them something to vote for, and that&rsquo;s the thing Democrats should emulate. Ask people for their votes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrc.org\/staff\/brent-baker\" title=\"\">Brent Baker<\/a>, the Steven P.J.
