Morning Headlines: Nassau Republicans Say Anti-Mamdani Message Drove Election Wins, City May Rehire Workers Fired Over Vaccine Mandate, and Book Sale at Surrogate’s Courthouse

Nassau County Republicans are celebrating after County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s 10 point reelection. Party Chair Joe Cairo says Cairo says Mamdani’s success gave his suburban candidates something to run against. Meanwhile, nearly 3,000 former city workers fired over the COVID vaccine mandate could soon return to work. Mayor Adams says the city will open a reinstatement window for those employees.
