I agree, it’s a good sign. Mamdani won, in part, because of the insane level of grassroots support he had. In concrete terms, that means having lots of regular people help you by knocking on doors and helping you make inroads to their local community. Whilst the kind of work that it takes to get someone elected is super different to what would help when someone is in office, so far I am hopeful that Mamdani will be able to continue working with and leveraging the grassroots support he has. For that, keeping up momentum is useful.
