Mamdani, whose fame came from those who support antisemitism, got exposed as an inexperienced politician who crumbles under pressure during the final debate. His evasive answers on key ballot initiatives and visible nervousness when confronted about his extremist associations prove he's not ready to lead. Cuomo dominated the stage, showing that Mamdani lacks the experience needed for City Hall.
Zohran Mamdani's laser focus on affordability makes him the clear choice for mayor. While other politicians get distracted by foreign policy theatrics, Mamdani consistently turns every issue back to the cost-of-living crisis crushing New York families. His message, discipline and ability to connect rising costs to failed establishment policies show he understands what voters actually care about.
New York's powerbrokers, Democrats and Republicans, 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.
