Former White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley hopes New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will help Americans realise they can never have someone like him run a city again. “I hate to say this about one of America’s greatest cities…but they voted for this,” Mr Hogan told News24 host Danica De Giorgio. “I hope that he is able to implement as much as he possibly can, run that city in a way that makes people realise we cannot have a person like this running any American city from now until eternity because their ideology is dangerous. “Their desire is one that is incongruent with the values of most Americans.”
