The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

    Millions of people around the country turned out to protest that, and the protests are ongoing. Also, this isn’t “one more brown guy,” he’s one of the most visible politicians in the country right now.

      I understand that things are happening. I’ve been to some of those protests and seen the people making a stand firsthand. It’s certainly not nothing. I’m just saying that the response we’ve seen so far is what I would have predicted for his first term. We should be making a bunch of fascists a foot shorter by now.
