Wave of Anger on X Targets Curtis Sliwa After Mamdani’s Victory
Zohran Mamdani’s victory reflects growing influence of Muslim, South Asian, and first-generation American voters in NYC’s Democratic electorate, marking a demographic shift in local politics.
- On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race, defeating disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa to become the first Muslim and first South Asian mayor.
- Profiled in the New York Times Magazine last month, Mamdani was politically trained in democratic socialism with a housing-first approach and advocates for Palestinians and emerging voters.
- Using digital outreach and grassroots teams, Mamdani combined digital and social media with organic field organizing to gain in the Bronx and benefit from a youth voter surge.
- The win positions the victory as signaling growing influence for Muslim, South Asian and first-generation American communities within the Democratic electorate and expanding the progressive playbook ahead of the 2028 primary.
- After a campaign marked by Islamophobia, Mamdani faced ugly Islamophobia from Andrew Cuomo, and his effectiveness depends on cooperation from local politicians across City Hall and the outer boroughs.
