A Win For Mamdani is A Win Against Elitism

On Tuesday night, Zohran Mamdani made history as New York City’s first Muslim Mayor.

Mamdani’s anti-elitist agenda sparked rare bipartisan efforts to contain his rise–showing how powerful this win is. Mamdani’s New York City victory signals what’s ahead for America and the Democratic Party: a future increasingly shaped by socialism.
