NYC mayoral election live updates: Zohran Mamdani leads Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa as voters head to the polls
It’s decision day for NYC — will the city end up with a socialist mayor when it’s all said and done?
Proud DSA member Zohran Mamdani, 34, is maintaining his lead as New
Yorkers head to the polls Tuesday to elect the next mayor of New York
City, with former NY governor and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo
shockingly close behind, and beret-wearing GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa at
a distant third.
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

WSJ Slams Heritage for Defending Fuentes, Carlson
The Wall Street Journal's editorial board issued a scathing rebuke
Monday against the Heritage Foundation and its president, Kevin
Roberts, accusing him of coddling antisemitism and legitimizing
extremist voices on the right.
The editorial, titled "The New Right's New Antisemites," warns that
antisemitic rhetoric is "spreading wider and faster than we thought,"
propelled by right-wing influencers like Tucker Carlson and white
nationalist provocateur Nick Fuentes — and, more alarmingly, abetted by
figures once seen as pillars of the conservative establishment.
The Journal's board focused its criticism on Roberts' video last week
defending Carlson after the former Fox News host invited Fuentes onto
his podcast for what the paper described as a "chummy" conversation.
Trump Again Urges GOP to End Senate Filibuster
President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a blistering call for
Republicans to eliminate the Senate filibuster, warning that failure to
act would hand control of Congress and the White House to Democrats in
the 2026 midterm elections.
The post, shared on his platform Truth Social, spelled out a sweeping
agenda, from secured borders and tax cuts to Second Amendment
protections, and placed the burden squarely on Senate Republicans to
execute it.
"The Democrats are far more likely to win the Midterms, and the next
Presidential Election, if we don't do the Termination of the Filibuster
(The Nuclear Option!)," Trump wrote on Election Day morning. "For three
years, NOTHING WILL BE PASSED, and Republicans WILL BE BLAMED."
Supreme Court could blow up Trump’s tariff agenda in biggest case of his second term: ‘It’s very uncertain’
President Trump’s tariff regime is facing its greatest test yet as the
Supreme Court on Wednesday hears arguments on a pair of challenges
against his use of emergency power to slap duties on countries around
the world.
While Trump has enjoyed a remarkably successful track record so far
before the high court during his second term, particularly on the
shadow docket, many experts say there is widespread uncertainty over
how the Supreme Court will rule on the momentous tariff case.
“It’s very uncertain given the makeup of the court,” Gregory Shaffer, a
Georgetown Law professor who co-wrote an amicus briefing backing the
lower court rulings against Trump, told The Post.
“It could be 50-50,” he added. “There are some justices, such as
Justice [Neil] Gorsuch, who have earlier expressed concerns about
Congress delegating its powers to the president.”
Conservatives erupt on social media over 'absurd' Pelosi comment calling Trump 'worst thing' on earth
Pelosi is currently facing questions about her political future after reports she is considering stepping down
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned President Trump in fiery terms as
"the worst thing on the face of the Earth" during a new interview on
CNN.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sparked a flurry of controversy on
social media Monday after referring to President Donald Trump as a
"vile" creature in an interview, prompting conservatives to accuse her
of continuing to promote rhetoric that has led to political violence in
recent years.
"He’s just a vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the earth,"
Pelosi told CNN’s Elex Michaelson about Trump in an interview that
quickly went viral on social media.
"You think he's the worst thing on the face of the Earth?" Michaelson followed up.
"I do, yeah, I do," Pelosi said.
Former VP Dick Cheney Dead at 84
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at 84.
Cheney died from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, according to a family statement:
"Richard B. Cheney, the 46th Vice President of the United States, died last night, November 3, 2025. He was 84 years old.
"His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and
other family members were with him as he passed. The former Vice
President died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and
vascular disease.
As Wyoming's lone congressman, he was respected for his conservative
principles and deep understanding of defense and energy policy. His
tenure as Secretary of Defense under President George H.W.
Bush hails Cheney as 'the one I needed' as vice president
Dick Cheney died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, his family says
Former President George W. Bush said that former Vice President Dick
Cheney’s death was "a loss to the nation" and said that Cheney was "the
one I needed" when he became his running mate in 2000.
"Laura and I will remember Dick Cheney for the decent, honorable man
that he was," Bush said in a statement obtained by Fox News. Cheney's
death was announced Tuesday morning.
"History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his
generation — a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence and
seriousness of purpose to every position he held," Bush's statement
reads, in part.
Cheney served as Bush’s vice president from 2001 to 2009, spanning the
9/11 attacks and helping shape U.S. policy in the "war on terror,"
including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also served as a
Republican congressman, Defense secretary and White House chief of
staff in his decades-long public career.
LISTEN: Unhinged voicemail exposes left-wing candidate's death threats against GOP senator
The profanity-laced voicemail was left after Sen Tim Sheehy voted to pass the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act
Freshman Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., was targeted with death threats and
other extreme insults by a left-wing city commissioner candidate from
Montana's capital city of Helena, who called his office several weeks
ago to leave her thoughts about the Republican senator over a
voicemail.
The voicemail came in July, shortly after Sheehy voted with his
Republican colleagues to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a
sweeping tax and spending package from Republicans that angered many
Democrats, including Helena city commissioner candidate Haley McKnight,
following its passage.
"Hi, this is Haley McKnight. I'm a constituent in Helena, Montana,"
McKnight started off in her voicemail, a recording of which was
obtained and verified by Fox News Digital. "I just wanted to let you
know that you are the most insufferable kind of coward and thief. You
just stripped away healthcare for 17 million Americans, and I hope
you're really proud of that. I hope that one day you get pancreatic
cancer, and it spreads throughout your body so fast that they can't
even treat you for it."
Elections in NY, N.J., Va. Offer Test of Trump's Agenda
Voters in New Jersey and Virginia will choose their next governors on
Tuesday in a pair of races that will serve as an early gauge of the
American electorate's response to President Donald Trump's first nine
months in office.
Meanwhile, in New York City's mayoral race, Democrat nominee Zohran
Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, faces 67-year-old former
Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent.
The campaign has laid bare the Democratic Party's generational and
ideological divides as it seeks to rehabilitate its damaged brand.
Israel 'Won't Compromise' on Full Disarmament of Hamas
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said on Tuesday that Jerusalem
"won't compromise" on the full disarmament of Hamas under U.S.
President Donald Trump's peace plan for the Gaza Strip.
"The eradication of the Hamas terror state is at the heart of President
Trump's plan," Sa'ar said ahead of meetings in New Delhi, speaking
alongside his Indian counterpart, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.
"Hamas must be disarmed. Gaza must be demilitarized," Jerusalem's top
diplomat declared, adding that the "radical terror states" in Gaza,
Lebanon, and Yemen must be uprooted to ensure regional security.
Sa'ar thanked New Delhi for its "strong solidarity" with the Jewish
state, noting that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the
first world leaders to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas massacre.
The return of antisemitism should shock and appall Americans
This is an ancient evil
Antisemitism — hatred of Jews because they are Jews — is sometimes
referred to as "the ancient evil," because it is indeed ancient, dating
at least to the third century BC in Hellenistic Egypt. The Greeks and
the Romans were both suspicious of Jewish communities of the ancient
world simply because they refused to adopt the religious and social
customs of their conquerors, and the rulers especially resented the
strict monotheism of the Jews.
As a people "set apart," the Jews maintained their communities
according to the rules of their faith and were persecuted as a
consequence by the dominant powers and empires.
At least three times, the Jewish people were carried away en masse as
captives and slaves: the Assyrian captivity of the northern kingdom
around 722 BCE, the Babylonian captivity of the southern kingdom of
Judah starting in 597 BCE and the Roman captivity beginning in 70 CE.
LIZ PEEK: AI layoffs could spark a socialist surge if America ignores the warning signs
Nothing could undermine our capitalist
system faster than widespread job losses stemming from a tech
breakthrough cheered by the investor class
What if Sen. Bernie Sanders is right and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is wrong?
What if the AI revolution causes mass layoffs of American workers, as
the Vermont senator warned in a recent Fox News op-ed? And what if
Powell is wrong that the softening labor market is due primarily to
supply issues — lower immigration and a lower labor participation rate
— rather than AI-produced "efficiencies"?
What will be the response of policymakers? What should it be?
AI will soon become a political battleground. Democratic socialist
Sanders, ever the class warrior, has already questioned whether AI will
help all Americans or only "a handful of billionaires." Like the trade
deals that sent millions of jobs overseas, Sanders worries that the
massive investment flowing into AI could result in up to 100 million
Americans losing their jobs over the next decade. He could be right;
imagine the repercussions.
