Mayor Mamdani turns down MET Gala [View all]

https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/5863308-mamdani-skips-met-gala-calls-attention-to-fashion-workers/

I've been a Mamdani cheerleader for a long time - ever since he won the Democratic primary.

But the man skipped the best party in the best city on the best world while talking up the workers behind the creative work produced.

If invited, I might end up going to the MET Gala. The gift bags have to be worth bank.

What a blessing our party has to see the most American city be led by a man that is the product of an American story?


Also -- we went to the same high school. We had a few of the same teachers!
