As Mamdani nears victory, Democrats worry about national fallout
"We stand on the verge of ushering in a new day for our city,"
"There are many who say that a democratic socialist vision of governance for New York is impossible," Mamdani said in a video posted to his campaign's Instagram account. "To them, I say: We need look only at our past for proof of how socialism can shape our future."
"be the light that our city and our nation so desperately need."
Zohran Mamdani marched over the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall and greeted supporters with promises of ushering in a new day for the city. Public polls indicate Mamdani is likely to be elected mayor of New York City, elevating his national prominence. He must defeat Andrew Cuomo, who portrays him as inexperienced and ineffective, and Republican Curtis Sliwa, known for acerbic quips and a red beret. A Mamdani victory would be the highest executive office held by a self-identified democratic socialist in the U.S., capping a decade-long leftward shift and giving democratic socialists a powerful national platform. Supporters express strong enthusiasm.
