A senior aide to President Donald Trump has claimed Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary is a result of a failure to control migration.

“NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration,” Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, wrote on X.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in a stunning upset on Tuesday night.

    It’s funny how all of their reflexive defenses to someone who is an existential risk to their entire body politics is xenophobia, when white people were the primary voting bloc for Mamdani and Black people voted mostly for Cuomo. Take notes for your least favorite relatives, everyone.
