Early voting is approaching, and a faction of New York's political Establishment is attempting to thwart Zohran Mamdani's mayoral candidacy. Andrew Cuomo, despite losing the Democratic primary, is running as an independent, criticizing Mamdani's platform. Eric Adams has raised substantial funds, with efforts to garner more from cryptocurrency donors. The challenge lies in overcoming the Democratic Party's significant advantage. Mamdani represents New York's growing South Asian community, which is increasingly organized and advocating for representation in local government.
The question is whether either of these candidates can counter the enormous, six-to-one advantage Democrats enjoy in New York.
Deep demographic and political shifts in New York won't be stopped by a few million dollars' worth of ads.
Mamdani has emerged as a leader of New York's South Asian community, 600,000 strong, demanding a seat at the table inside City Hall.
Adams has been on a fundraising tear, raising $1 million in a single night.
