BIZARRO WORLD: Turns Out Luigi Mangione’s Cousin is a MAGA Republican – And He Just Won an Election in Maryland

As if the 2026 midterms couldn’t get any weirder, it turns out that Luigi Mangione has a cousin who is a MAGA Republican who just won a local election in Maryland.

It’s as if everything that has transpired over the last few days is part of a strange work of fiction.

Nino Mangione just defeated a Democrat in a race for Baltimore City Council.

Breitbart News reports:

CEO Killer Luigi Mangione’s Cousin Nino Wins Baltimore Council Seat on Law and Order Platform

The name Mangione is in the news again, but this time it is not that of accused United Health Care CEO killer Luigi Mangione. It is his Republican cousin, Nino, who defied a nationwide Democratic election sweep and won re-election to the Baltimore County Council on Tuesday.

The win came despite the 39-year-old Mangione being a “staunch MAGA Republican whose grandfather was a multimillionaire real estate magnate,” Newsweek reported in a profile of the two cousins Thursday.

The councilman narrowly won his seat with 48.7 percent of the vote over his Democrat opponent Shawn McIntosh who had 45.2 percent in a race covering what is considered the “purplest” of the county’s districts, the magazine reported.

Nino and Luigi Mangione are both among the 37 grandchildren of the late Nick Mangione Sr., a “self-made multimillionaire who owned country clubs, nursing homes, and radio stations and was an established business patriarch in Baltimore by the time of his death in 2008,” Newsweek reported.

The two Mangione grandchildren could not have charted more starkly different life paths. Luigi pled guilty to stalking charges in federal court earlier this year after admitting he traveled to New York to shoot and kill CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel in December of 2024.

To be fair, it’s not as if this guy could choose being related to Luigi.
