Voting in the New York City Democrat mayoral primary was described by Ella Emhoff as traumatic since she had to use the same polling station where she previously cast her vote for stepmom Kamala Harris.
Taking to her Instagram stories on Tuesday, Emhoff, 26, urged her Big Apple followers to participate in the election for Democrat Socialist, Zohran Mamdani, despite the sweltering weather conditions.
Expressing the importance of civic responsibility, she shared that her emotions were heightened as she went to the polls for the first time since Harris’s defeat to President Donald Trump in November.
‘Feeling so many emotions voting again,’ she wrote while wearing a Zohran for NYC bandana and an I Voted sticker. ‘It was a little traumatic walking into the same voting place as I did in November.
‘But I feel so much hope for New York and what @zohrankmamdani will bring.’
She said in a video that she was happy to see the ‘support around Zohran.’
‘Let’s f**king do this, guys!’ she said as she walked home to her Brooklyn apartment.
Emhoff would get her way on Tuesday evening after Mamdani unofficially won the Democrat primary, garnering 43.5 percent of the first-round votes.

His competition, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, conceded on Tuesday evening after only getting 36.4 percent of the vote.
Mamdani has not officially won the primary, as he would have needed to get more than 50 percent of the first-rank votes to officially win.
New York City uses ranked-choice voting, allowing voters to list up to five candidates on their ballots. Final results for rounds two to five are expected to come in on Tuesday.
Cuomo may still run in November’s election as an independent, although sources claim he knows he’s beaten and plans to take a dignified step back.
Mamdani will face incumbent Mayor Eric Adams for the final race in November.
Emhoff will face a similar anxiety leading up to this November as to last when she held onto hope Harris would prevail.

Daily Mail has reached out to Emhoff for comment.
Mamdani ran on a platform that promises affordability to the second most expensive city in the world. He plans to provide free public buses, city-owned grocery stores that will offer cheaper prices, and free universal childcare, among others.
Since his win, President Donald Trump has branded Mamdani as a ‘100 percent Communist lunatic’ and criticized his fellow Democratic socialist endorsers, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
During a debate, Mamdani promised to be Trump’s ‘worst nightmare.’
