Zohran Mamdani thread

Posted on Categories America, Politics, United StatesTags , , , 6 Comments on Zohran Mamdani thread

Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic mayoral primary in New York City after Andrew Cuomo conceded.  The largest city in the US may have a mayor who is South Asian, Muslim and a Democratic Socialist–only in America!

I’m linking to an interesting article in The Guardian entitled “Mamdani’s defeat of Cuomo offers Democrats a path out of the wilderness” 

What are other commentators’ thoughts on Zohran? It would be particularly interesting to hear from those based in the US.

Talk about whatever you feel like

Three links I found interesting:

Can Zohran Mamdani, the first South Asian to run to be New York mayor, pull off an upset?
