1 day agoNew York Braces for a Mayor Mamdani
He has won over younger voters with promises to freeze rents, provide free child care for infants and toddlers, and open city-run grocery stores to cut living costs. His appeal also rests on being young, photogenic, and relentlessly easygoing. He benefits as well from a fractured opposition: instead of a single challenger in the November 4 election, he faces two-former governor Andrew Cuomo and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa-who are likely to split the anti-Mamdani vote.
