Dad to Jojo and AJ. Been called "the Dr Fauci of Caesar Salad."
All the haters please stop writing NYC's obituary. We survived 9/11, riots, blackouts and bankruptcy, etc. Anyone who wants to leave can go. We must grow and change and get better. Our people will demand it and it will happen. But NYC never dies. Our people won't allow it.
Good luck getting NYC back on its feet after last night. The damage to the city’s image here and abroad, its finances and its future is going to be incalculable.
Words of wisdom.

If a more moderate Democrat beats a progressive in the 2028 primary (as in 2016 and 2020), it will be tough to convince progressives to unite behind the nominee when the Democratic establishment won't rally behind @ZohranKMamdani after his convincing primary win.
Zohran records videos in NYC neighborhoods talking to real NYers about cost of living and affordability .. they ask for help. Fox News counters by talking to … tourists in Times Square.
We asked people in NYC what they think of Zohran Mamdani and his far-left agenda. The answers speak volumes. 🏙️
Everybody had a kid in their class growing up who ate paste. The problem is that Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez both grew up to be the leaders of today’s Democratic Party—and the rest of the party has no idea what to do. foxnews.com/politics/aoc-w…
Going great.

Holy shit. When will the gaslighting end? Nicole proudly voted for Trump's bill to kill Medicaid for 52,000 of her constituents while jacking up health insurance premiums for 41% and she's trying to convince us she voted to give working & middle class families relief?!
Proud to be part of a Congress that’s delivering savings & tax relief to working & middle class families who, for too long, were handed the bill for wasteful & fraudulent spending.
Can confirm.
Cuomo's team alleges @JustinBrannan & @ZohranKMamdani's camps "together" provided us a poll showing Mamdani leading @andrewcuomo for the first time. Having received, assigned and edited the pitch, I want to clarify this is untrue. It was provided by Brannan, not Mamdani.
Good plan, but where should we do our press conference to show we definitely care about working class NYers? I got it … right next to the Hummer & outside Smith & Wollensky.

Here’s a good rule of thumb: If it takes 10 tweets to justify the newsworthiness of your story it’s probably not newsworthy.
As the @nytimes assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, I’ve received reader feedback regarding our reporting on Zohran Mamdani’s 2009 application to Columbia University. To provide context on how the reporting came together, I wanted to share some information:
Catch me with @errollouis & @ScherieMurray on @NY1 @InsideCityHall. We have a lively discussion about @ZohranKMamdani, the mayor’s race and whether free buses are #socialism (they’re not).
The proper reaction from a Democrat who is interested in building a big tent and learning lessons from both a devastating 2024 Trump loss and an instructive 2025 Mamdani win.
.@SenatorSlotkin on Mamdani’s win in NYC. "It reinforces that you may disagree on some key issues, but understanding that people are concerned about their family budget, that is a unifying thing for a coalition." Via @ABC: abcnews.go.com/Politics/repub…
My favorite part of the racist “Zohran will destroy NYC” discourse is that the same people have been telling us for years that liberals already made NYC a shit hole. So I’m very confused by their new found love for our city.
Great poll for Zohran 1. Honan polls all had 20+ error in primary. 2. Respondent were +13 fav/unfav for Cuomo - a very pro cuomo # even with that bias he still isn't winning. 3. Definitive that Zohran will beat Adams. 4. Adams/Sliwa get enuf votes (20%) to kill indy line chances
INBOX: @BradleyHonan is out with a new poll showing @andrewcuomo and @ZohranKMamdani tied at 39% in the general. Sources tell me most ppl around Cuomo are trying to dissuade him from running, but this poll may change his mind.
Who’s on the signal thread for this call?
Hearing that real estate and business leaders in New York City are convening a 2 pm call to discuss The Zohran Situation
I don’t think this means what you think it means …
Muslim Obama. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
For posterity here’s that @NickReisman and @joeanuta story showing @ZohranKMamdani leading @andrewcuomo by 4 points, a poll and story that were derided by Team Cuomo. Turned out it actually underestimated Mamdani’s lead. politico.com/news/2025/06/1…
First poll that showed Zohran ahead was reported by Politico. It was the only poll that said that until the day before the election.

What @politico in ny has become is an outlet that reports on election trends before they're conventional wisdom. What we're not is an outlet that bends to fear. Proud of my team; beyond proud of @NickReisman and wishing everyone who worked on races well tonight.
We have some neighborhoods that are used to getting the full loaf of bread + we have some used to fighting over crumbs. $115 billion budget it doesn’t have to be like that. We can have borough equity. We can have racial equity. - @JustinBrannan + 300 Muslims + OZP yesterday
