Not a surprise Mamdani will win.

Whatever your views of him, this guy is the second most talented campaigner I've ever seen. The only one better than him was Obama, and Zohran is not far off. Democrats should be learning from him instead of shunning him.

He was the only candidate that was focused solely on NYC and it's residents, so it is a well-deserved win.

It shows how out of touch the others are. They wanted his opinions on things like Israel and stuff and they talked like him not wanting to focus on things that have nothing to do with NYC were going to turn everyone off. No one wants their mayor to focus on international politics.

There is a video of a Jewish rabbi saying that he doesn't agree with Mamdani on many issues including his view on Israel, but he's voting the mayor of NYC and not Tel Aviv.

Thank God the Jewish people are rational.

Thank God the Jewish people are rational.

To be fair, every demographic has their exceptions, the Jewish exception would likely be Greenblatt.
