We Talked To Trump Voters Who Went Socialist. What We Heard Will Shock You. - More Perfect Union [View all]

A full 10% of NYC Trump voters turned around and voted for Zohran Mamdani.
So we went to talk to them.
These voters are done with the status quo. One New Yorker told us: "As Americans, we can realize it's not Republican versus Democrat. It's more of like a class war."
