Zohran Mamdani has won the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Party’s future.

Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, after a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams.

Mamdani focused heavily on affordability, pledging to freeze rent, establish city-owned grocery stores and make buses free for riders. He quickly became a progressive icon as well as a polarizing figure within the party over his positions, so much so that it divided prominent New York Democratic leadership over whether to endorse him.

    Not every part of the country is exactly the same.

    Almost like not every part of the party is exactly the same?

    The “new” part is being nonbiased instead of ridiculously biased.

    If you’re confused and something sounds like it doesn’t make sense, ask questions instead of making assumptions

      That supports my point, it doesn’t dispute it.

      The “new” part is being nonbiased instead of ridiculously biased.

      What the fuck does that mean? Non-biased, is that a joke? People, trying to divide the party to help Republicans win, are obviously biased. I on the other hand accept both wins in NYC and Virginia while you accept only NYC.

      If you’re confused and something sounds like it doesn’t make sense, ask questions instead of making assumptions

      I didn’t express confusion or uncertainty. This is a pathetic argument tactic that intentionally avoids the topic at hand.

      Stop trying to divide the party. That’s how you uncompromising ideologues gave us a second Trump presidency.

        I think the problem is you don’t understand what the DNC is…
