New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has a cheeky message for his trolls.<\/span>@ZohranKMamdani\/X<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As Zohran Mamdani<\/span>, the democratic socialist who made history<\/a> last month with his stunning victory in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, continues to rake in powerful endorsements, he made a scheduling announcement: He\u2019s on <\/strong>a brief trip to celebrate his February nuptials with \u201cfamily and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n Such bland news wouldn\u2019t normally require the creation of an entire social media video. But it was the trip\u2019s destination\u2014Uganda, where Mamdani was born and lived for seven years before moving to the United States\u2014that Mamdani highlighted to cheekily skewer his critics head-on.<\/p>\n In the clip, Mamdani played on the explosion of racist attacks telling him to \u201cgo back\u201d to Africa. He also prepared a string of pun-heavy headlines for the conservative-leaning New York Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cUGANDA MISS ME.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cHE AFRI-CAN\u2019T BE SERIOUS.\u201d<\/p>\n The clip once again underscored the Mamdani campaign\u2019s ability to use social media videos to engage with everyday New Yorkers in ways that are widely praised as authentic, a crucial ingredient<\/a> to his success. In turn, Mamdani\u2019s opponents, Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams, have used Mamdani\u2019s social media savvy to attack him. \u201cLet\u2019s be clear: They have a record of tweets,\u201d Adams said last month when he launched<\/a> his independent campaign.<\/p>\n
