The doubts about New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani are already creeping in at the Intelligencer section of New York magazine. In fact those nagging doubts about Mamdani are more than just creeping. As the realization sets in that their hero Mamdani actually has little to no administrative experience, very noticeable flop sweat began streaming in the form of this story on Monday by David Freedlander, "The Making of Mayor Mamdani."
Before you even read the body of the article you can detect the first drippings of the flop sweat in the subtitle: "He is a brilliant political talent with dizzying ambitions to change the city. Is he ready for the actual job, though?"
The story itself is quite lengthy as a result of Freedlander seemingly reassuring both himself and the New York readers that Mamdani will be able to govern as mayor despite the many gnawing doubts presented. The first such example came during Mamdani's trip to Puerto Rico with much of the city's political class:

Freedlander is just a jealous Zionist holding back the ascent of the son of the Dessert.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. - H. L. Mencken
NYC is about to get what they deserve. Good and hard.
I see things going two possible way.
1. He’ll do what he said he was going to do come hell or high water and ruin himself and the city
Or
2. Reality will hit him upside the head with a two by four and actually heed the lessons and see the light.
I can’t wait to see which way it goes.
3. He'll govern pretty much as he said, just like the mayors of Boston, L.A., Chicago etc.
Bingo. This POS is like Obama, he would live to completely destroy NYC but he doesn’t have the skills, so he will try and do as much as he can by ignoring reality and just running it into the ground.
I think many of us American citizens spotted him as a phony before he was even nominated. Is there any reason to believe differently now?
