The progressive candidate is on the cusp of a historic mayoral win. And that's adding to unease among Democrats looking for a way back to national power.
On the cusp of electoral victory, New York mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani marched over the Brooklyn Bridge on Monday and arrived at City Hall, where he greeted cheering supporters with a promise.
“We stand on the verge of ushering in a new day for our city,” he said. Their conviction would “be the light that our city and our nation so desperately need.”
Put differently: His importance won’t stop at the shores of the Hudson.
If public polls are accurate, Mamdani will be elected mayor of America’s largest city in Tuesday's election, his national prominence guaranteed. To do that, he will have to beat Andrew Cuomo, the former governor turned mayoral candidate who has tried to paint Mamdani as inexperienced and ineffective. He must also defeat Republican Curtis Sliwa, who has turned heads with his acerbic quips and omnipresent red beret.
For the progressive left, it will be a signal achievement — the highest executive office ever held by a self-identified democratic socialist in the United States. After a decade that began with Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) insurgent presidential campaign against Hillary Clinton — continuing with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s improbable 2018 congressional win, the formation of the “Squad” of lefty lawmakers and the pulling of the entire party to the left — Mamdani’s victory would be the capstone of a 10-year ideological project, and give democratic socialists an enormously powerful bully pulpit for the next four years.
Shortly before midnight on the eve of the election, Mamdani offered a glimpse of what could come next. "There are many who say that a democratic socialist vision of governance for New York..."

Adios, New York City 🏙️🏙️🏙️
Yes!!! I was afraid Cuomo was going to pull it off.
Build a wall around NYC.
He’s 10x the liar that George Santos is, with 1,000x the media exposure. Welcome to 4 years of ready-made GOP campaign ads.
Democrats dug their own grave.
There is no democrat party anymore.
It’s laying in a grave with the devil dancing on it!
He’ll be deported before he is sworn in.
isn’t he a citizen?
Definitely George Santos was guilty!
Except Democrats are on the cusp of sweeping Virginia.
The Islamic part is worse. Rapes will go up as Mozlems move into that city.
And there are already almost a million Muz in NYC.
What makes us think this won’t take off across the country? We are getting slammed tonight just by the media spin of 42 million who can’t eat and we are denying “healthcare”. That’s 42 million votes right there. Mamdani’s biggest “promise” was free bus rides, free food and free “child care”.
The communists are on the cusp of taking Virginia.
Free crumbs for the commoners and payday for the politburo!
This guy has the city council and NY legislature to check his economic stuff which is why the trust fund and Wall Street types support this guy because “its” en vogue. His only area of control is through the LEO mechanism. Walk through the boroughs, it can’t get worse since the previous Mayors were all reprobates too. Non-sequiture, the “cool” people will be cocooned.
“Build a wall around NYC.”
To keep people in rather than keep people out - this would be a first for America. Multi-millionaires and billionaires will be the first to leave, because they can. There goes the tax base, what could go wrong?
I’m looking forward to the city-owned grocery stores, you know they will be looted every single day.
Should have gone with Obama’s “we are 5 days away from transforming the United States of America!”
I can’t wait to watch all of those elite wealthy fasionista faux socialists in NYC react t oa real socialist take control of the Mayors office. This will be fun.
His entire platform was “FREE SH*T!”
A Communist Islamist running New York.
The End.
I never thought I would see that.
