Democrats Don't Need to Move to the Center. Mamdani Proves Progressives Can Win.

  • Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, won the June 24 New York City Democratic mayoral primary, defeating Andrew Cuomo in a generational clash.
  • Mamdani's rise followed months of progressive activism opposing Cuomo, who resigned four years earlier amid sexual harassment allegations and whose establishment backing included Bill Clinton.
  • Mamdani ran for mayor advocating progressive policies to tackle the high cost of living, including free public bus service, complimentary childcare, rent control measures, additional taxes on businesses, and a comprehensive $100 billion housing initiative.
  • Prominent supporters include Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, while Donald Trump called Mamdani a “100% Communist Lunatic,” and Mamdani declared, “Tonight, we made history.”
  • Mamdani enters the November general election as favorite, potentially becoming New York City's first Muslim and first mayor of South Asian descent, with implications for the Democratic Party's future direction.
