Socialism In A Designer Suit: NYC Is In For A Hard Lesson If Mamdani Is Elected

Mamdani reminds us “we need to remember what the stakes are.” He’s right.

So far, Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year old who won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, is still just a candidate. But in heavily Democratic New York, the Republican, radio host Curtis Sliwa, has little chance of winning. A recent poll puts Mamdani at 36.4% compared to Sliwa’s 16.3%.

That means the only man standing between Mamdani and the mayor’s office is Eric Adams, a Democrat who last year was charged with bribery and campaign finance violations. He has also angered his own party by failing to oppose immigration enforcement as much as other “sanctuary city” mayors like Chicago’s Brandon Johnson or Los Angeles’s Karen Bass.
