Why don’t we just say what we mean? “The President of the United States was raping underage girls and is using his power to cover it up, protecting himself and his shitty billionaire friends.”
Seeing this going around. As flagged, on this thread, a critical part of this was the success of his social videos (shoutout @Boringstein ) which allowed us to stay far more competitive on TV because without having to put money behind Meta he was organically breaking through.
Despite running a one-of-a-kind, groundbreaking communications strategy on social media, data shows that the Mamdani campaign’s paid media strategy was remarkably old-school. 🔗chaoticera.news/p/opinion-zohr…
We’re lucky to have the excellent @_dorap on the team! We’re going to turn the page (for a second time because they don’t care about the will of voters) on the politics of corruption, big money and small ideas that Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams embody.
job’s not finished. SO excited to announce that after leading comms for the best boss in the biz @bradlander I’ve joined the @ZohranKMamdani campaign as Press Secretary!
The real electability argument was the friends we made along the way.
% of valid ballots that X candidate was included on: Mamdani - 60% of ballots (639,905) Lander - 59% (632,155) A. Adams - 54% (578,794) Cuomo - 46% (489,926) Myrie - 40% (430,071) Stringer - 31% (332,142) Blake - 25% (269,992) Ramos - 14% (154,401) Tilson - 9% (100,215) 1/2
The problem with Andrew Cuomo’s fake “be available more” strategy is that he’s bad and the more people know him the less they like him.

Listen to Bernie.
Billionaires like Bill Ackman have promised to spend tens of millions of dollars to defeat @ZohranKMamdani because they don't like the result of the democratic primary. That's not democracy, that's oligarchy in action. Stand with Zohran.
Zohran up 13 now. On the heels of launching a new corporate funded, message devoid campaign Andrew Cuomo is still getting rejected by voters from his last messageless, corporate funded campaign.

Voters: We want to turn the page on corrupt politicians who are beholden to special interests and have made life unaffordable. Adams & Cuomo: We will compete in a billionaire primary because corporations and Trump donors deserve a candidate who will protect the status quo.
JUST IN: From the campaign of @ZohranKMamdani on reports Cuomo will indeed contest the general election:
Hell yeah @JaneRayburn
Really great interview on @downballotnews with Mamdani’s pollster, @JaneRayburn from @WorkbenchStrat (who’s great btw) Especially loved the part about how the final weeks of a campaign are about execution, w/ internal polling being critical earlier on for message & issue testing
Dan fucking Osborn. So back. There’s no one like Dan in the US Senate. And it’s far past time that changes.
🚨MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 Ok. You've all convinced me. I'm in. I'm running for Senate against billionaire Pete Ricketts In Nebraska. This race represents the foundational battle taking place in America right now: The Billionaire Class vs. The Working Class Who's with me?
Adam is truly excellent at what he does. I’m happy for him but I’m also happy for the party because we now have another great firm in the mix.
Some personal news — I am beyond excited to be formally launching my own polling firm, Zenith Research! After over a dozen years working in the industry, I wanted to build something on my own — with a fresh, independent, methodologically rigorous & radically transparent approach
A massive grassroots haul from Nathan: *$705,000+ raised *Polling showing him beating Joni Ernst *Millions of views across social media platforms *Dozens of large events across the state Something’s happening in Iowa.
THANK YOU to every single person who donated to this campaign. With your help, we have raised over $705,000, more than any other candidate in this race. That number is mind-boggling. But it proves that this is a people-powered movement, and we’re just getting started.
Legitimately encouraging to see @RitchieTorres taking on the bigoted and dangerous Republican attacks on Zohran. Democrats can disagree while being aligned on standing up fo fascism, fighting for affordability, and emphasizing our shared humanity.

Always appreciate & learn from a convo with @ZacMcCrary! Thanks for having me on.
New episode live w/Morris Katz (@katz_morris ), lead media strategist @ZohranKMamdani for NYC on his path to politics, joining @fight_agency, & deep dive into the content, strategy, & takeaways from the most innovative political upset in years. Listen: propolitics.buzzsprout.com/1704139/episod…
Expanding coalitions take work from all involved. Grateful for the leadership of @MicahLasher. Feel lucky as a New Yorker that we have leaders like Micah and Zohran.
I am in the unusual position of having gotten to know @ZohranKMamdani as a colleague in the State Assembly. We share a belief in the power of government to solve big problems, and have built an unexpected friendship in spite of deeply felt disagreements. I know Zohran to be a…
Eric Adams does not care about antisemitism. Eric Adams cares about staying in power so he can do Donald Trump’s bidding and avoid accountability for his many, many crimes.
Plenty of talk about Zohran Mamdani. But has any Democratic Party leader condemned Eric Adams for inventing the “End Antisemitism Party” just to dodge the primary and run as an independent? Weaponizing antisemitism to distract from your record for personal political gain is…
The best of the best. 💐 💐 💐
Elle Bisgaard-Church, Mamdani's CM, deserves many flowers (beloved by all, 100% approval rating) She ran laps around the professional consultant class; steering the best NYC Mayoral campaign in decades. One of one. Job well done.
