Brooklyn was his best borough in the primary. The voting we're seeing bodes excellent for him and he's killing it in the polls.

Stick a fork in Andrew Cuomo, he's done and good riddance.

I'll note Cuomo is so uniquely odious, he's sewing this up for Mamdani. And Sliwa isn't really a contender at all

Without waxing poetic, Cuomo sucks and the other guy who's running... no one cares.

I do wonder what would've happened if, Mamdani won the primary, but the indepedent/primary loser running instead of Cuomo was a normal inoffensive Democrat.

We'll need to wait and see more after how it affects races across the country. What works in NYC doesn't necessarily translate elsewhere. Bill de Blasio winning way back when was also a really positive sign for progressives after like....20 years of Repulican mayors and that didn't end so great either.

The hysteria over him being an Islamist antisemite is cynical bad faith nobody should take seriously. What's going in Maine is testing things in another way.

I don't expect it'd be too different, honestly. It's very hard for this to happen because people generally dislike sore losers. It's VERY rare they win and they have to be well established. Lisa Murkowski and Joe Lieberman are super rare exceptions to the rule.

Zohran won the Democratic nomination and in a blue city, most people are gonna vote for him. Especially after the nonsense with Eric Adams.

There's a nonzero chance that that's the next step.

Probably a lot closer election. Mamdani ran a terrific campaign; Cuomo ran a horrible campaign and just gave it over. Mamdani really engaged with the youth and black communities.

Trump has already threatened to withhold giving NY money if he wins and some of the other rabid animals are trying to get the DOJ on him (you know, just for not being a white male Republican), so theyre no doubt going to try.

He isnt a king. Theres borough leaders and a city council to deal with to get things done. Its not as simple as As mayor I hereby declare universal childcare!
And I dont think the folks who anointed him Socialist Jesus understand that.

You're not wrong.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/26/zohran-mamdani-republicans-push-investigate-citizenship

Congressman Randy Fine of Florida and Andy Ogles of Tennessee both staunch proponents of Donald Trumps presidential administration have been leading the push, which has been condemned by Democratic officials and Muslim civil rights groups as racist and anti-Muslim.

Fine in recent days demanded the federal government review every naturalization of the past 30 years starting with Mamdani.

Fine told the New York Post: I just think we need to take a hard look at how these folks became citizens, and if there is any fraud or any violation of the rules we need to denaturalize and deport.
He continued: I know that theres a lot of us that are very, very concerned about the enemy within people who have come to this country to become citizens, to destroy it.

Meanwhile, since June, Ogles has pushed for a justice department investigation of Mamdani, with calls to deport him over claims that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) to which Mamdani belongs are a communist organization that he didnt disclose in his naturalization process.

There are going to be a load of a Karens once they show him getting inaugurated during the new years celebrations.

Although, just remember, NYC and NYS always elect shitty mayors and governors, so well have to see what shitburger he has in store.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

The majority of what he's proposing to do requires tax increases that can only be done at the governor level, and Hochul said months ago that she wasn't going to be doing any of that. Since then, she's endorsed him, but he refuses to endorse her reelection campaign. So he's going to be trying to get his priorities delivered by coordinating with a governor that he's actively trying to replace. It's going to be a complete shitshow of finger pointing when nothing actually gets done.

Let 'em. Life is about compromise. Even if he oversold what he could do, or a lot of his stuff gets pushed down, I'm sure he'll still accomplish something and he's certainly better than any alternative.

Fingers crossed. It's true that much of what Mamdani wants done may not get done, but I'd rather have a mayor who *wants* to do big things and can't get them done over a mayor who doesn't even want to try and acknowledge that these are problems

There's obviously going to be a ton of barriers once he wins. I'm interested in seeing how he communicates these barriers and paths to solutions to the rest of the city.

The way he fights back could be a good lessons-learned for future politicians for both the good and bad.

Yeah, there are always going to be people who are upset because they expected sweeping change to happen faster than it realistically can, but even if the best he can manage is incremental progress that's still progress and it's better than leaders who are fine with maintaining the status quo and a lot better than leaders who are actively making things worse.

I agree. I know for a fact that Mamdani probably won't make buses free. But if he can come up with a negotiation where bus fare is cheaper than subway fare, that's a win.

He might not raise the taxes as high for ultra high-income earners as he wants to. But if he can even raise them a smidge, that'll be huge, because right now, NYC has so few income tax brackets - the highest income tax bracket in NYC is $90,000 and up for married filing jointly, which means that two DMV workers living in NYC pay the same percentage of their income in taxes as a hedge fund manager, and that's just incredibly stupid any way you sell it.

He might not be able to levy huge taxes against the rich, but there is currently a loophole right now where a lot of wealthy people's ultra-luxury apartments (that were sold for like 50+ million) are taxed at much lower rates than they're actually worth. If he can find a way to stop giving those people a huge discount...

That alone would make him a very successful mayor IMO
