"We said it all day: The livable streets movement elected Zohran Mamdani. Sure, armies of Socialist volunteerchiks, immigrant aunties, renters, Bronxites and so many others filled his winning coalition (as this nice Times video shows), but don't neglect the role played by bus riders, bike riders and YIMBYs in getting the Queens Assembly member over the finish line in first."
"People were breaking it down all over the socials, but three things stood out: Public transportation users clearly backed the mayor-elect: And Mamdani won 56 percent of election districts that have a majority of renters, according to the awesome map created by the CUNY Graduate Center: Map: CUNY Graduate Center And he did great with Black and Latino voters:"
The livable streets movement propelled Zohran Mamdani to victory. Armies of Socialist volunteers, immigrant aunties, renters, and Bronx residents filled his winning coalition. Bus riders, bike riders, and YIMBYs also played a decisive role. Public transportation users clearly backed the mayor-elect. Mamdani won 56 percent of election districts that have a majority of renters, according to a CUNY Graduate Center map. He performed strongly with Black and Latino voters. Additional election results include a Dec. 2 runoff between Jim McGreevey and James Solomon. Local controversies involve a hit-and-run fatality, exploding e-bikes, and a Queens Community Board 9 meeting about Freedom Drive.
