On Tuesday, November 4, Zohran Mamdani clinched the election for mayor of New York City, capturing just over 50 percent of the vote in a four-way race. Mamdani, a member of the New York State Assembly, defeated candidates with considerably more name recognition, including incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo—each of whom he also previously defeated in the Democratic Party primary.
Unfortunately, Mamdani's win seems to vindicate the progressive theory—despite all recent evidence to the contrary—that the only solution to America's problems is more government.
