Zohran Mamdani won but has no mandate — it’s up to Kathy Hochul to save the city
From the Right
AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
Zohran Mamdani won a clear victory in the mayoral race Tuesday, but by far less than Democrats usually do; while the numbers aren’t final, at the very least nearly as many New Yorkers voted against him as for him.
That’s no sign of faith in the socialist fantasies he’s selling. He certainly has no mandate to ram through a radical agenda.
