NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) needs advice from California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) like he needs a goiter.
In late 2021, NYS Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D) went on a two-week hunger strike in front of City Hall in support of striking taxi drivers. In 2025 as candidate for NYC Mayor, Zohran pledged he would order the NYPD to arrest ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu if he ever stepped foot in NYC jurisdiction. Governor Newsom, the head of the world's fourth largest economy for several years, never said he would order the California State Police to arrest the nefarious PIFWC (Person Indicted for War Crime) if he ever stepped foot in to the Golden State.
Only recently did Newsom detect the change in political winds about US support for Israel, so he cynically criticized Benjamin Netanyahu, finally called Israel "an apartheid state," and he condemned the illegal attack on Iran because "it would raise energy prices."
Unlike Zohran Mamdani, Governor Newsom never attended any "Fight Oligarchy" rallies with US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), including one in Folsom, CA.
New Yorkers and Bronx High School of Science graduate Zohran Mamdani know exactly who and what the rich telegenic cynical governor of California is: a "frenemy" of Kamala Harris, protege of fabulously wealthy House Democrat Nancy Pelosi, and a potential 2028 Democratic Party POTUS candidate.
Sidenote: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has a net worth of $200,000 and he does not own a car; California Governor Gavin Newsom has a net worth of $30m.
One blogger put it succinctly a few months ago about the wealthy Gavin Newsom before the political winds about US support for Israel shifted on him: "Gavin Newsom is a former AIPAC donor. He refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza, attempted to crush pro-Palestine protests, and still supports unconditional aid to Israel. He will never be President."

So, thanks for the advice Governor, but we in NYC think Zorhan Mamdani won't need it.
