The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

    I know plenty of folks… and social media and youtube has a LOT of outspoken Republicans that don’t like Trump. I mean, this is not a small number either. I even met some at the NOKINGS protest.

      He’s not doing anything surprising. He telegraphed exactly what he would do for years. We had 4 years of him trying and failing to do it, then 4 years of him saying he would do exactly what he is doing if they elected him again. And they voted him in anyway.

      Their crocodile tears mean nothing, and I’ll not willingly associate with any conservative nor Republican until old age takes me in two or three decades, at which time the country will still be recovering from what they’ve done. And it especially doesn’t count if they are whining because their business or their family has been hurt by Trump policies. Republicans caring when they get impacted is nothing new.
