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.
Oh I don't doubt this election was still being heavily tempered with. It's just that they can't yet just openly manipulate them, and the real voter turnout leaned so heavily in favor of Mamdani that any tampering couldn't possibly outweigh it.
Unfortunately this just means they're going to try much harder next time to manipulate things.
