Mara Gay: Zohran Mamdani’s Message Was Appealing and Attractive to Voters
‘It’s clear that he’s tapped into a sense of populism that we see animate not only Democrats in this moment, but also Republicans’
EXCERPT:
GAY: “Well, first of all, Assemblyman Mamdani did something that Democrats in Washington and across the country have struggled to do of late, which is he simply was clear about where he stands, what he believes and what he's willing to fight for. And it was also a really positive vision. So rather than just bashing Donald Trump or, in this case, his mayoral opponent, Andrew Cuomo, he actually talked about the kind of city and the kind of community that he wanted to see. And that was appealing. It was attractive to voters.”
