"We may know how Andrew Cuomo felt with this many days to the primary election, we don't want to find out how he felt on primary night, Mamdani said in an Oct. 8 sit-down interview with editors and reporters from amNewYork and Schneps Media. And that means making sure that we are looking to earn every single vote."
"To secure that support, Mamdani said he has continued to build upon the massive canvassing operation that in part powered his upset primary victory over Cuomo. He said he now has over 80,000 volunteers, who are often knocking on upwards of 100,000 doors a week. Mamdani's primary campaign was also propelled by its ability to turn out young, disaffected, and new voters, as well as its relentless focus on lowering skyrocketing costs. His platform of freezing rent increases for the city's one million stabilized tenants, affecting almost half of the city's apartment stock, making bus service free and speedier, and expanding free child care to be universal, has energized his supporters."
Zohran Mamdani holds a double-digit polling lead heading into the Nov. 4 general election while stressing the need to earn every vote. Mamdani positions himself against the experience of his chief rival by warning against overconfidence and citing past upsets. The campaign has scaled a massive canvassing operation with more than 80,000 volunteers knocking on roughly 100,000 doors weekly. Campaign strength stems from mobilizing young, disaffected, and new voters. Core policy priorities include freezing rent increases for about one million stabilized tenants, improving and making bus service free, and expanding universal free child care.
