"The Democratic socialist and state assemblyman, 33, running to be the next Mayor of New York released an ad Wednesday, Aug. 1 that spoofed ABC's rosy reality dating "Bachelor" franchise. In the ad, Mamdani says a long soliloquy - as leads often do on the series - before picking up a rose and raising it up to the camera. "You deserve better. You deserve to be able to raise your family here. To be safe."
""You deserve someone who works as hard as you do. Who thinks about you - every second of the day. That's the kind of mayor I promise to be." Then, a flowery question: "New York, will you accept this rose?" According to Mamdani's campaign, the seven-figure "Rose" ad campaign aired for the first time in New York City during Wednesday night's episode of "The Golden Bachelor," the franchise's series aimed at seniors."
Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic socialist and state assemblyman, is running for New York City mayor. He released a seven-figure ad campaign called "Rose" that parodies ABC's "Bachelor" franchise, featuring a soliloquy, a raised rose, and the line "New York, will you accept this rose?" The campaign bought airtime during an episode of "The Golden Bachelor" to reach viewers at home. Mamdani framed his platform around helping families, public safety, and reducing costs. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched an independent mayoral bid after losing the Democratic primary to Mamdani, and Republican Curtis Sliwa is also running.
