The big story of the 2025 New York Mayoral election is age polarization.
81% of women under 30 voted for Mamdani.
Just 32-33% of over 65 years old did.
Race polarization very small, just Asians. Probably the muslims.
Big education gaps. Mamdani won the young college graduates by landslide. And turned them out.
And Mamdani won because of the non-judeo-christian faiths and LGBT.
Finally, it was transplants, not native new Yorkers that overwhelmingly voted for Mamdani, of course because it is the young college graduates who moved there.

Crazy people on X are bashing Indian immigrants, but my new research published today finds that Indians are the best major country of origin group of immigrants.
The average Indian immigrant and his or her descendants will save the federal government $1.7 million over 30 years.
The much-discussed H-1B visa is the best single visa type in terms of economic impact, with an average H-1B visa holder reducing the debt by $2.3 million over 30 years and expanding GDP by $500,000.
TODAY: My new @ManhattanInst report estimates the deficit, GDP, and population impact of immigrants by legal status, education, age, race, and origin.
I propose reforming immigration to SELECT better immigrants and reduce the debt by $20 trillion over 30 years.
Full report with all the detailed estimates, including of proposals like the Heartland Visa, H-1B, Indian immigrants, low skilled, old, young, black, white, etc.
Accounting for the 2nd and 3rd generation, over 10 and 30 years, I find that only college educated immigrants reduce the budget deficit as long as they aren't too old.
🧵 Let's talk about what the DSA supports and so does their candidate Zohran Mamdani.
1) Here is the DSA international committee meeting with Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro just four years ago. They support Venezuelan & Cuban style of socialism.
2) They say they want everyone to have a right to: Housing, food, union jobs...
The problem? They want the government to be in the business of making and distributing housing, food and jobs. This is what the Soviet Union, Cuba and others do and it leads to rationing and poverty.
They claim that it is the right that divides people by race, gender, sexuality, and nationality... but that is false, that is what THEY DO.
Mamdani explicitly said he wants to tax white neighborhoods, and specifically targets and negatively speaks about one nationality: Israelis
There is a coordinated public relations campaign to launder the Maduro regime's image in America and lobby President Trump to lift his rightful sanctions against the socialist Venezuelan regime.
This is likely financed by Chevron.
Let's take a look at this first. Today TWO articles were published on this matter by @rkm_aes and @BrianPFonseca.
Let's begin with the first. Ron seems to have changed his mind from three years ago when he called Maduro a terrorist and criticized Biden for negotiating with him for oil.
Now he is forming a narrative to urge Trump to do the exact same thing Biden did 🤔
Mayor Adams argues he did what he could to deal with the migrant crisis because state and local laws required him to provide free housing and not collaborate with ICE.
This is true, to an extent, but as time showed, he could have restricted the right to shelter from the start.
Mayor of Denver argued that the Bible requires him to welcome the stranger and that means free housing and food and clothes provided by taxpayer.
This is FALSE. On Ash Wednesday of all days. This is an individual, not collective responsibility.
