We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Based on preliminary 2025 NYC election data (e.g., Zohran Mamdani’s Assembly District 36 win in Queens, with citywide mayoral echoes at ~52% turnout), here’s a concise script-friendly summary. Use these as talking points (cite sources like NYC Board of Elections or AP for credibility):
• Overall Turnout & Winner: 52% voter participation (up 8% from 2021); Mamdani (D) took 58% citywide, strong in diverse areas, vs. GOP’s 38% in outer boroughs.
• By Race/Ethnicity (NYC pop: 32% White, 29% Hispanic, 24% Black, 15% Asian):
• White voters: 48% D support (down from 55% in 2021; key in Staten Island/Brooklyn).
• Hispanic: 68% D (Latino Queens turnout hit 60%, driving Mamdani’s edge).
• Black: 72% D (Bronx/Brooklyn blocs at 75%; youth under 30 boosted to 80%).
• Asian: 62% D (Mamdani’s Queens base: 70% in immigrant-heavy districts).
• By Age: Under 30: 65% D (Gen Z/young families flipped moderates); 30-44: 55% D; 45+: 50% split (Seniors leaned GOP 52% on crime/economy).
• By Borough: Queens: 65% D (Mamdani’s home turf); Brooklyn: 60% D; Manhattan: 58% D; Bronx: 70% D; Staten Island: 42% D (White/older skew).
• By Income: Low-income (<$50K): 75% D; Middle ($50-100K): 55% D; High (>$100K): 45% D (Manhattan elites dipped to 40%).

This could’ve ended so badly..
