New York's powerbrokers, Democrat and Republican, have paved the way for Mamdani's rise by backing flawed figures like Cuomo and Adams. Their failure to offer credible, inspiring candidates — choosing instead a corrupt establishment — has left voters disillusioned. By prioritizing power over principle, they've created a vacuum where Mamdani, whether he's a good choice or not, has connected with New Yorkers more than the supposed experienced men in the room.
There's a 50% chance that Zohran Mamdani will win the NYC mayoral election by 14.8%, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
