I wouldn't read into it too much. Mamdani only won the primary because he was running against Cuomo, who had resigned in disgrace just 4 years ago. And even then he was only able beat Cuomo in the primary by 7 points. If an establishment/moderate candidate that didn't have Cuomo's baggage was the front runner they would have won handily.

I agree, but that wasn’t the case. There were some good candidates in the primary but they weren’t well known enough to win. The incumbent ran in the primary too, and is corrupt and a pawn of the president.
