Mamdani and Democrats Score Big Wins & Conservatives Melt Down | The Daily Show

Yesterday was Election Day in
America, the first big election since Trump’s 2024 victory– was a chance to see
if the Democrats had any pulse whatsoever. [LAUGHTER] And last night’s show–
not only are they alive, they are coked up like Don,
Jr. at a crypto convention. Whoa. Whoa. Whew. Whew. They scored a 13-point victory
in the New Jersey governor race, a 15-point victory
in the Virginia governor race, a landslide win
for California’s Prop 50. And let’s not forget the
biggest victory of the night, the one no one can
stop talking about. Democrats flipped two seats
on Georgia’s public service commission in this
year’s election. Yeah, that is
huge for our state. [BLEEP] yeah. Yeah! [SNIFFS] Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah! The Georgia Public
Service Commission. When I say Georgia Public,
you say Service Commission. Georgia Public. AUDIENCE: Service Commission. Georgia Public. AUDIENCE: Service Commission.
– Whoo-hoo-hoo! Man. [CHEERING] Oh. Do you folks know
what this means? AUDIENCE MEMBER: No. Yeah, seriously. Do you know– have any
[BLEEP] idea what this means? OK, whatever. The Dems are taking
the W. The point is, people were
excited to vote, especially the younger
generation. Hi. I’m so excited to vote. It’s giving Election Day. It’s giving Election Day? It’s giving Election Day. Why are you here? What’s the motivating factor? No, it’s giving
yes on Prop 50. It’s giving hot people
vote yes on Prop 50. [LAUGHTER] This clip is
giving me a migraine. It’s– it’s giving me
second thoughts about democracy being for everybody. [LAUGHTER] It’s giving let’s
raise the voting age to one year older than she is. [LAUGHTER] But this– you know what? You know what? This is a good
reminder to everybody that when the Gen
Zers at your office start glitching like that,
it’s it’s good to unplug them for 10 seconds then restart– usually fixes the issue. But still, you can
see the enthusiasm. People all over the country
were excited to vote, even people who could not,
technically speaking, vote. REPORTER: Officials in Kentucky
were flooded with complaints from voters demanding to know
why polling places were closed. Kentucky secretary
of state cleared up the confusion,
posting, quote, “Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote in Kentucky
for the mayor of New York City or the governor of Virginia. Sorry.” [LAUGHTER] [CHEERING] Kentucky. [LAUGHTER] How can I put
this respectfully? You are not giving
intelligence. [LAUGHTER] Of course, the biggest
story of the night was Zohran Mamdani, who is– [CHEERING] Wow. Wow. Zohran Mamdani, who
is democratically elected as sultan
of the people’s republic of Al Newyorkistan. Mamdani won
by assembling a coalition of young people,
working-class families, pagan graphic designers,
nonbinary baristas, and, of course,
Bushwick couples looking to make
him their third. Meanwhile, his
opponent, Andrew Cuomo, had his votes eaten
into by Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. It was an unfortunate
divide, but Cuomo’s voters took it graciously. Hey, Curtis. You’re a [BLEEP]
scumbag, like I said all along all of these months. You [BLEEP] got 8% of the vote. You split the [BLEEP] vote. You [BLEEP] sold out
like [BLEEP] Judas sold out [BLEEP] Jesus for the
30 [BLEEP] coins of silver. Go [BLEEP] yourself. Whoa. Whoa. [LAUGHTER] I like hearing Bible
stories told that way. Maybe I should go
to church in Staten Island. (IN NEW YORK ACCENT) [BLEEP]
Jesus curing the lepers. Meanwhile, Mary Magdalene is
over here with the big [BLEEP] flapping around. Forget about it. Corinthians, 4:16. (IN REGULAR ACCENT) While some
New Yorkers are turning so red, Curtis Sliwa could
wear them as a hat, other New Yorkers are
processing their emotions in a different way. New Yorkers are
going to flee. They’re going to flee New York
because of Zohran Mamdani. His win still sets
the stage for a large mass exodus out of New York. With this guy
in charge, you know, they’re talking about a million
people leaving New York City. A full 9% of people
say that they will leave. Wow. You’re telling me
9% of apartments are about to become available? [CHEERING] Holy shit. That would be the fastest
a mayor has ever delivered on a campaign promise. But seriously– you
know, seriously, though, I don’t want a million
people to leave New York City. I want 2 million people
to leave New York City. My subway commute this
morning was so packed, I had to sit
on an elderly man’s lap. And he was already stacked
on top of a pregnant teenager. Now, I highly doubt
that most people will follow through on their
threats to leave New York. But it turns out,
one New Yorker already has his bags packed. And he happens to be the
current mayor of New York City. Countries are calling me
and asking me to come and do what I did in New York City. It’s an amazing opportunity
that’s waiting for me. I can fly private now. I can go on a cruise. I can hang out in St. Bart. And the joy of it, when y’all
come and say, you know, what are you doing, going to Spain? I could just give you
the finger and keep it moving. I have to be stuck on stupid
to want to do this again, you know? So let me bounce, man. I got a whole life to live. [LAUGHTER] Hey, man. No one forced you to be mayor. You ran for mayor. And also, you’re
currently the mayor. You have two months left. It’s way too early to give
a Jerry Maguire speech. [BLEEP] you, bitches. I’m out– after Christmas. Right now, let’s brainstorm
on trash pickup, shall we? And by the way, why are
you wearing a tuxedo shirt? Are you starting
your day or ending it? How does this work? But I will say this. Whether you voted
for Mamdani, or Cuomo, or you split your vote
for Curtis Sliwa, you [BLEEP] scumbag, all
of us New Yorkers are going to miss Eric Adams. So as the mayor heads off
into the great Turkish Airlines lounge in the sky, let’s
take one last look back at the legacy he left behind. [INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC] [LAUGHTER] If New York City is
the greatest city on the globe, that makes me the greatest
mayor on the globe. This is a place where,
every day you wake up, you can experience everything
from a plane crashing into our Trade Center
to a person who’s celebrating a new business that’s open. We know New York City is
the Islamabad of America. It is the Lagos of America. The Athens of America.
Lima. Port Au Prince.
Kyiv. Zagreb. New York City is
the Istanbul of America. I start the day with telling my
team we got to follow the law. I sleep well at night
with my little teddy bear because I follow the rules. I was not offered any position
to go to Turkey, to eat turkey, to do anything else. I’m not going to resign. I’m going to reign. I’m like broccoli. You’re going
to hate me now, but you’re going to love me later. [LAUGHTER] I’m going to Gandhi-like. I think like Gandhi. I act like Gandhi. I want to be like Gandhi. 1:00 AM in the morning, I’m
sitting in the back of a closed barbershop or beauty
salon, smoking a cigar and drinking some
Henny or a single-malt scotch. It’s not the Tweet. It’s the street. You have to inspect what you
expect or you’re suspect. When I do my dime,
I can do my time. And I won’t hear anyone whine. This is a city of swagger. We need a mayor of swagger. If we can talk about
erectile dysfunction but not clitoral stimulation,
something is wrong. I had a shorty that
lived out here. Sharing a pie with your boo
is like– that’s the ultimate. You may drive by. You may see eye candy
sitting down somewhere. You may want to slip
them your number. I don’t know what I’d do
without my incense, my candles, my bubble bath, and my roses. I hate rats. Rats.
Rats. The rats may be listening. I’m terrified of rats. We’re going to kill rats. If you’re not scared
of rats, you are– you are really–
you’re my hero. All my haters become
my waiters when I sit down at the table of success. I’m a lion. And lions don’t lose sleep
over the opinions of sheep. Andrew Cuomo is
a snake and a liar. I’m here today
to endorse Andrew Cuomo. I wake up in the morning. And sometimes I look at myself,
and I give myself the finger. I am the pilot, folks. And you are all passengers. Pray for me to land the plane. Because there’s no
parachutes on this plane. We’re all going down together. If they like it
or not, I’m the mayor. If I go to the next
leg of my journey, I’m leaving you a good city. Don’t [BLEEP] it up. [CHEERING]

Jordan Klepper dives into the big wins for Democrats across the country last night, including in the hotly contested mayoral race in New York City, which ended in a historic victory for Zohran Mamdani that sparked threats of a mass exodus of Cuomo supporters from the city. Plus, nobody is more eager to get out of the city than Eric Adams, the guy who’s still in charge at City Hall, so The Daily Show takes a final look back at the legacy the outgoing mayor is leaving behind. #DailyShow #ZohranMamdani #JordanKlepper
