Harry Enten, CNN Chief Data Correspondent, pointed out the discontent among establishment Democrats following Zohran Mamdani's surprising primary victory against former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. During a discussion on CNN, Enten drew parallels to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's upset win, emphasizing that it reflects a wider trend of voters' dissatisfaction with current leadership in Washington. Panelists including Ana Navarro and Joy Reid acknowledged the significance of grassroots campaigning in Mamdani's success while recognizing the challenge he may pose to the establishment in future elections.
"The people who hate this result the most are the Democratic establishment. We have seen poll after poll after poll showing Democratic voters fed up with their leaders in Washington."
"This reminded me of the AOC versus Joe Crowley election, where there was this establishment Sacred Cow who thought he could walk into it, and a young upstart put in the hard work and won."
