Fox’s Tomi Lahren Warns Republicans to Listen to ‘Wake-Up Call’ From Mamdani and Other Election Defeats

Fox News anchor Tomi Lahren warned Republican voters and lawmakers to listen to the “wake-up call” they received this week, with Democrats winning multiple key races, including democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani being elected the next mayor of New York City.

Lahren, while co-hosting The Big Weekend Show, shared her thoughts on Dems winning the governor’s race in New Jersey and Virginia, Mamdani becoming mayor, and Prop 50, the redistricting measure pushed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), passing in California.

The program played clips of Republicans downplaying the wins, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) saying it was “no surprise” and that “no one should read too much into” the results.

Lahren said she agreed it was not worth wigging out over — but the victories should not be ignored, either.

“I think that it’s always a bad idea when Republicans get too cocky,” Lahren said. “I think we’ve done this before, we’ve seen this movie before, the ‘Red Waves’ that were always supposed to crash that never happened.”

She said the elections are not necessarily a “bellwether” and that NYC “played” itself by electing a socialist.

“But I do think Republicans would be wise to have a wake-up call and realize that we can’t take anything for granted,” Lahren added.

Co-Host Joey Jones said he agreed with her. Jones said NYC is not a great example to use when trying to predict future elections nationwide, but the other victories showed that if Dems run “good, moderate candidates,” they can give Republicans problems in the years ahead.

Their analysis comes a few days after Dems won the aforementioned elections.

President Donald Trump weighed in a day later, telling Fox News he thought Mamdani gave a “dangerous” and “angry” victory speech.

“I think he should be nice to me,” Trump said. “You know, I’m the one who sort of has to approve a lot of things coming to him, so he’s off to a bad start.”

Mamdani’s victory speech went viral on X on Tuesday night and on Wednesday. Some conservatives were riled up that Mamdani said his “movement” included “Yemeni bodega owners” and “Uzbek nurses,” among other nationalities, but did not mention “Americans.”

The 34-year-old also highlighted his democratic socialist approach, saying, “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.”
