Summary

Chris Cuomo breaks down what 2025's off-year elections reveal about America’s political realignment — and why he calls it the real war for the country’s future. Voters across the country sent a clear message: they’re tired of chaos, exhausted by extremes, and demanding something that actually works. In New York City, former Governor Andrew Cuomo lost the mayor’s race to Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, a progressive voice from the same populist current that produced AOC and Bernie Sanders. Chris says that upset is part of a broader reckoning inside both parties — between MAGA, the politics of anger and grievance, and MEGA, the growing number of Americans weary of outrage and craving stability. And as both sides look ahead to the 2026 midterms, these results may be a preview of which message will win: rage, or results.

0:00.0	You are being deceived. What these elections mean is not what you are being told. I'll put it simply.
0:09.5	The real war has now begun.
0:19.9	I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to the Chris Cuomo Project. This is not an end. It is not a definitive
0:26.8	moment. It is an indication of what is to come. And I'm not trying to frighten you because it depends on what you want.
0:38.3	But I will tell you that I know more than most because I am not a passive observer.
0:44.3	My brother ran for mayor of New York City.
0:47.3	I knew he was not going to win and he did not.
0:50.3	And I can tell you why, not based on how I feel, not based on my bias, on the exit polls and the inside
0:59.5	data and research and anecdotal experience of what happened on the trail and what won.
1:06.8	Look, I'll give you an easy headline.
1:08.8	Why did Zoron Mamdani win in New York City?
1:12.0	Easy.
1:12.6	He's the Democratic nominee, and they almost always win in New York City.
1:17.9	And it's a little bit more complicated this time.
1:20.2	Why?
1:21.2	Three-person race?
1:22.4	Yeah, except two of them were Democrats.
1:24.8	Or one of them is what a Democrat used to be, and one of them is what a Democrat
1:29.9	may wind up being. So it's a little bit more complicated, but that's why he was the prohibitive
1:36.7	favorite. It's not about him. He's a mascot for the party, but now also a movement. Now,
