Zohran Mamdani, a young democratic socialist, is rapidly rising in the New York City mayoral race, attracting attention and criticism from various candidates. Notably, he has been targeted for his inexperience by prominent figures, including former Governor Andrew Cuomo and other Democratic rivals. Despite being an upstart, Mamdani's progressive campaign, which seeks to address the high cost of living in the city, has garnered strong support from influential voices, including U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, establishing him as a significant player in the race.
Cuomo said, 'He's never dealt with the City Council. He's never dealt with the Congress... And now you have Donald Trump on top of all of that.'
Scott Stringer asserted, 'we cannot have a mayoralty on training wheels,' indicating his view on Mamdani's inexperience.
Whitney Tilson criticized Mamdani’s proposals as full of 'pie-in-sky promises,' which could imply impracticalities in implementation.
Mamdani's energetic campaign seeks to lower the city’s cost of living and is backed by progressive leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
