Former New York City mayor Bill de Blasio has openly backed mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani , casting his vote while wearing a “Hot Girls for Zohran” T-shirt.
De Blasio shared a smiling photo of himself at the polling station and posted on X: “One of the happiest votes I ever cast! What a beautiful day for NYC!”
Meanwhile, Donald Trump made a scathing remark about New York’s future leadership in his recent CBS' 60 Minutes interview, criticising the possibility of Mamdani leading the city. The president warned that New York could risk losing federal support, noting that the city currently receives $7.4 billion in federal funding.
Trump dismissed Mamdani as a “communist,” saying, “If you have a communist running New York, all you’re doing is wasting the money you’re sending there.” The remarks have fuelled speculation about whether Trump’s administration would actually move to restrict funding and send National Guard in the Blue region, like he did previously with other Democratic strongholds
Who is Bill de Blasio?
Bill de Blasio was the 109th mayor of New York City, serving from 2014 to 2021 as a Democrat. He built his image around progressive causes, pushing for affordable housing, early childhood education, and police reform. Before his time as mayor, he worked as a political organiser and later as the city’s public advocate. Though his tenure ended with criticism over public safety and his handling of the pandemic, de Blasio remains active in local politics. His recent support for Zohran Mamdani shows that he still identifies with New York’s progressive movement and its shifting political base.
' Hot Girls for Zohran '
The campaign slogan “Hot Girls for Zohran” has become a viral grassroots movement supporting Zohran Mamdani, the progressive New York mayoral candidate. What began as a cheeky slogan on T-shirts and social media has turned into a creative force for mobilisation, blending humour with activism. The phrase redefines “hot” to mean politically aware and socially engaged, resonating strongly with younger voters. The group behind it has helped organise events and sell merchandise at campaign pop-ups, turning a playful idea into a statement of identity.
