Overview
- On Friday, Sen. Tommy Tuberville said New York City will be “completely Muslim in three or four years” following Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral victory.
- During the WarRoom appearance, he supported dropping the filibuster to reopen the federal government.
- Tuberville’s remarks follow earlier statements in which he urged deporting Mamdani and warned about Muslims “trying to take over.”
- Mamdani, 34, defeated Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Cuomo to become the city’s first Muslim and first mayor-elect of South Asian descent.
- Mamdani’s platform includes a rent freeze for more than 2 million stabilized tenants, faster and free buses, and universal childcare, and the election drew turnout above 2 million, the highest since 1969.
