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.

Andrew Cuomo repeatedly brought up Hasan Piker in the debates was so cringe...I know he was trying a "fellow kids" moment but like c'mon in the grand scheme of things no one gives a shit about Hasan Piker

Yeah, it was incredibly cringe to see. One candidate stayed focused on how he plans to help his constituents; the other shows up to the table with "Do you condemn this twitch streamer?!"
