Mamdani on Being Called a ‘Kingmaker’: ‘There’s Only One King in New York; That’s Jalen Brunson’

EXCERPT:

MANNARINO: “I spoke to a lot of folks after primary night and they called you a kingmaker. Kind of looking at the landscape of all of this, do you believe you had an impact on some of these elections, and will you lend your voice moving forward as the so-called kingmaker?”

MAMDANI: “Well, let’s be clear, there’s only one king in New York. That’s Jalen Brunson.”

MANNARINO: “Nice.”

MAMDANI: “I was proud to play a small part in these elections.”
