#zohranmamdani #politics #newyork Zohran Mamdani has officially made history — he’s just won the New York mayoral race, becoming the city’s youngest mayor in a century! Quite the milestone, right? Which Hollywood Stars Supported Zohran Mamdani?
00:03He's just won the New York mayoral race, becoming the city's youngest mayor in a century.
00:07Quite the milestone, right?
00:09On January 1st, I will be sworn in as the mayor of New York City.
00:16And it wasn't just politicians cheering him on.
00:19A whole lineup of celebrities joined in the celebration.
00:22Especially those who had been rooting for him all along.
00:26So, who exactly were Mamdani's biggest supporters?
00:29Let's take a look.
00:30Actor Mark Ruffalo, known for playing the Hulk, but also for his political activism, didn't just tweet his support.
00:37He picked up the phone.
00:38Along with comedian Alana Glazer, he volunteered to work a phone bank for Mamdani in the final stretch of the campaign.
00:45Meanwhile, Wallace Shawn, yes, the beloved actor from The Princess Bride, was out canvassing in the East Village.
00:52You have to admit, that's some serious dedication.
00:56Then there was filmmaker Spike Lee, who made his stance clear during an interview with CNN's Victor Blackwell back in August.
01:05Why, Mamdani?
01:06We have to move forward.
01:09We have to move forward to equality for New Yorkers to make this, again, the greatest city in the world.
01:17Powerful words, from a man who spent decades highlighting social justice issues through his films.
01:23And speaking of powerful gestures, comedian Rami Youssef not only invited Mamdani to join him on stage at the Beacon Theatre earlier this year,
01:32but also took things to another level.
01:34Over the weekend, he played Mamdani on Saturday Night Live.
01:38Rings, suit, and all.
01:40A pretty creative way to show his support.
01:42I can't wait to see it, man!
01:44It was so fun!
01:46This is honestly…
01:47This is crazy!
01:48I love you, man!
01:51Love you, brother!
01:52I appreciate you!
01:53Bo and Yang also got in on the fun, posting a selfie wearing a Zoran for Mayor t-shirt.
01:57We're so lucky to have Zoran as a candidate.
02:00Let's give him all the support he needs.
02:03Let's make New York City more affordable for everybody.
02:06Meanwhile, actress and former gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon cast her early vote and urged everyone else to do the same,
02:13calling Mamdani brilliant and young.
02:16Not bad to have Miranda Hobbes in your corner.
02:19And, of course, model and activist Emily Ratajkowski was one of the earliest to back him.
02:24She even launched the Hot Girls for Zoran trend, sharing a video alongside the candidate himself to encourage voter turnout.
02:31It is Emily Ratajkowski and…
02:33Zoran Mamdani.
02:34It's Election Day today.
02:35You need to get to the polls.
02:37They're open till 9 p.m.
02:38What else do they need to know?
02:39Go to zoran4nyc.com forward slash vote.
02:41You can find out where your poll site is.
02:43You can text your friends and family because we need everybody to come out.
02:46You have to love how Gen Z and millennial activism keeps getting catchier.
02:50Actress Lupita Nyong'o also shared her personal connection, saying she's known Mamdani from way back and believes he has the personality and temperament to be an excellent mayor.
03:01She proudly shared that she'd already voted for him.
03:04Now that's friendship and faith rolled into one.
03:07Even singer Lorde, though not a U.S. voter, showed her enthusiasm on Instagram, calling Mamdani the one candidate with a crystal clear vision for a fairer and more caring New York.
03:19She urged followers to get thee to the polls, because who can resist a poetic call to civic duty from Lorde herself?
03:27And while Mamdani's rise clearly had a lot of fans, let's just say not everyone was thrilled, especially one familiar figure known for his fiery opinions, Donald Trump.
03:37If you want to see what congressional Democrats wish to do to America, just look at the result of yesterday's election in New York, where their party installed a communist as the mayor of the largest city in the nation.
03:52But Mamdani hasn't exactly been shy about where he stands on that front, either.
03:59This is not only how we stop Trump, it's how we stop the next one.
04:03So, Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you.
04:12Turn the volume up!
04:15In fact, he's now part of a long and growing list of public figures who've made it clear they're no admirers of Trump.
04:22And trust me, that list is packed with big names.
04:26First up, let's talk about the queen of Hollywood herself, Meryl Streep.
04:31At the 2017 Golden Globes, she delivered a passionate speech that called out Trump for mocking a disabled reporter.
04:38Her powerful words were a call to action for the press to hold those in power accountable.
04:49When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.
04:54A mic drop moment, for sure.
04:57Trump, however, wasn't too happy about it.
04:59You are a rude, terrible person.
05:01He denied ever mocking the reporter and tweeted that Meryl was one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood.
05:07And a Hillary flunky who lost big. Ouch.
05:13I am the most overrated and most over... over-decorated.
05:21That sounds like a classic case of, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
05:27Now, let's crank it up a notch with the one and only Cher.
05:31This iconic singer has made it clear that she's never hated anyone as much as she hates Trump.
05:36I don't think he has two moral fibers to rub together.
05:41She admitted she'd be dancing around if he were prosecuted and locked up.
05:45And she didn't stop there.
05:47Cher accused Trump of creating a toxic culture war in America, saying that people who once disagreed are now enemies.
05:54I hate him, she declared.
05:56I would put my fist through his face.
05:59Then we have the master of horror himself, Stephen King.
06:02Do you think that the Trump presidency is scarier than a Stephen King novel?
06:07Short answer to that is yes, I do.
06:09This best-selling author made his feelings about Trump pretty clear, calling him a horrible president and a sociopath.
06:16I might have said he had his head somewhere where a certain yoga position would be necessary to get it there.
06:24King also stirred up some controversy when he tweeted about a recent shooting incident involving Trump.
06:30He said,
06:31These are the guns the Republican Party and Trump want to protect.
06:35Oh, it was a direct hit.
06:37Actually, he has consistently criticized Trump, especially when it comes to the former president's criminal behavior and the alarming rise of fascism in the U.S.
06:46He's definitely not holding back.
06:49Have you ever blocked anybody?
06:51Yes, I blocked Donald Trump.
06:53Next up is Robert De Niro, who's made headlines for calling Trump a clown and a dictator during a recent event.
07:00Yeah, he's so stupid.
07:03After his fiery speech outside a trial, De Niro was set to receive a prestigious award.
07:11But guess what?
07:12The National Association of Broadcasters decided to rescind it because they didn't want any distractions from their bipartisan event.
07:20Seems like standing up for what you believe in has its consequences.
07:24He is really, genuinely a sick person that somehow has been allowed into our system.
07:32Trump, of course, didn't take it lying down and called De Niro pathetic on social media.
07:38Classic Trump move.
07:40Look at the lame, inane things that he said.
07:44He's so stupid.
07:45He can't even say anything clever or stupid.
07:47He's a f***ing moron.
07:49Next, we have the charming George Clooney.
07:52There's this part of you that just goes,
07:54Well, that guy shouldn't...
07:55But I was wrong.
07:56And he was.
07:57Just recently, Clooney expressed his concern over Trump's reelection.
08:02It's all scary.
08:04Just because there is a world where we could go back.
08:10And back in 2017, he called out Trump for labeling him and other Hollywood figures as elite living in a bubble.
08:17Clooney, who has a humble background, reminded everyone that he sold insurance door to door and had to make sacrifices just to get by.
08:25He said he lives in a gold tower and has 12 people in his company, contrasting his own experiences with those of Trump.
08:33He was just this knucklehead.
08:34I knew him before he was, you know, a president.
08:37He was just a guy who was chasing girls.
08:39You know, every time you went out, he'd come over and be like,
08:41What's the name of that girl?
08:42That's all he was.
08:43Heized the background.
08:46This was a dad's show for calling people.
08:47You know, and I was being up on Twitter for arrest.
08:49We'd keep accessible to her, guys.
08:50If you can follow all his powers on Twitter from there.
08:51Just like 90 or something, just like 40,000 Indyinal Santos to consume first.
08:52So송ers will allow us to bring the stronghältnmpg files to make the quality of environmental control.
08:53It deserves to be the days off, the rest of us taking 90 every time up.
08:54To do some of that, he'll just be the best known людям.
08:55To do aけ for that, I wait to sum it up.
08:56Do some of the things he has liked, but all of it.
08:57Zip, they stay to go in.
08:58So where he can hold your Looking All.
08:59And again, although the body wants to know há someưởng.
