"During the primary, Mamdani spoke about his plans to make city buses fast and free, pointing to New York's fare-free Staten Island ferry as proof that it's possible."
"Democratic voters overwhelmingly backed Mamdani's candidacy on Tuesday - and Republicans are freaking out. Many a frothing xenophobe can't fathom the idea that Mamdani, a Muslim and a naturalized U.S. citizen who has lived in the United States since he was seven years old, has a pretty good shot of becoming mayor now."
Tuesday night, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded the Democratic mayoral primary to 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist who presents a vision for a more affordable city. Mamdani gained support for his proposals like free public transportation and universal childcare. His candidacy has created a stir, particularly among Republicans who express alarm at the thought of Mamdani, a Muslim, potentially becoming mayor, exemplified by the outrage from notable figures like Laura Loomer.
