Overview
- The Post published the “On your Marx, get set, Zo!” front page within hours of Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win, portraying him with Soviet-style imagery.
- Copies quickly sold out across many New York City newsstands, including a Bed-Stuy shop that posted a “No NY Post” sign after demand surged.
- Resale listings on eBay proliferated, with reported sales at $14.25, $20 and $25, and at least one auction closing at $355.
- The newspaper is monetizing the moment with official memorabilia, including a 12-by-12 metal print of the cover priced at $75.
- Even as supporters hunted for copies, the Post maintained a sharply critical stance, underscored by a Michael Goodwin column warning business and political leaders.
