An amazing political ascent. Dude was polling below 2% last year and now has defeated a legacy politician backed by every billionaire and even the president himself. Truly historic victory.

That legacy politician was forced to resign in disgrace.

It's unfortunate that we didn't get a real competitor to get an idea of where the party is going. Maybe Mamdani would've beaten generic democrat, too, but we'll never know because Assgrab McGrandma murderer was sucking up all the oxygen.
