Geary Higgins, a political candidate in Virginia, used his social media platform to highlight connections between his opponent John McAuliff and New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani. In a series of posts made in early November 2025, Higgins drew attention to donations made by McAuliff to Mamdani’s campaign and questioned the alignment of their political views.
On November 1, 2025, Higgins posted: “Here’s Zohran Mamdani, who my opponent @McAuliff4VA donated to, telling us what he believes… Take a listen. We don’t need this in Virginia! https://t.co/0MS67wQKNX”.
The following day, on November 2, 2025, Higgins continued the theme with another post: “More friends of Zohran Mamdani along with my opponent John McAuliff @McAuliff4VA who also donated to his campaign… https://t.co/t0xKDIno1F”.
On November 3, 2025, Higgins posted a third message referencing both Mamdani and McAuliff: “Love this… How about you John McAuliff? @McAuliff4VA https://t.co/BJU7zpZZRm”.
These posts are part of an ongoing campaign discourse in Virginia where candidates often scrutinize each other’s affiliations and endorsements. Political donations and public support for figures from other states have become points of contention in recent local elections. Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) continue to play a significant role in how candidates communicate with voters and frame their opponents’ records.
