Rudy Giuliani offers brutal 6-word ‘advice’ to Zohran Mamdani after NYC mayoral win

1. A Divisive Election Victory
Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City’s next mayor has stirred strong reactions nationwide. While many celebrate his win, MAGA supporters have labeled him a communist, and Donald Trump has threatened to withhold federal funding from the city if Mamdani takes office.

2. Transition to Power
Mamdani, who won 50.4% of the vote in early November, defeated independent candidate Andrew Cuomo. He is set to officially assume office just after midnight on January 1, 2026, followed by a formal swearing-in ceremony, as required by city law.

3. Trump’s Harsh Warnings
Before the election, Trump endorsed Cuomo and warned voters against choosing Mamdani. He claimed a Mamdani victory would devastate New York’s economy, describing him as a “communist” and vowing to send only minimal federal funds to the city if he won.

4. Post-Election Tensions
Despite Mamdani’s victory, criticism from Trump and his allies has continued. Trump declared that New York would face “complete and total economic and social disaster” under Mamdani’s leadership.

5. Giuliani Enters the Debate
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, recently pardoned by Trump, offered Mamdani some cutting advice in an interview with the New York Post. He urged the mayor-elect to “step down and do something else,” calling him unfit to lead.

6. Controversial Allegations
Giuliani accused Mamdani of associating with individuals he described as extremists, claiming his ties pose security concerns. “I’m not worried that he’s Muslim,” Giuliani said, “I’m worried that he supports Muslim extremism.”

7. Security Concerns and Criticism
Calling Mamdani a “serious security threat,” Giuliani questioned whether he could ever receive federal clearance. He alleged that Mamdani’s ideology and associations make him dangerous—a charge that has fueled further political division in post-election New York.
