It’s been a colossal year for Zohran Mamdani. In Oct. 2024, nobody paid any attention when he announced his candidacy to be the next mayor of New York City. And why would they? He was a Democratic Socialist Muslim in his early thirties with only a few years of legislative experience in the New York State Assembly.
But Mamdani was laser-focused on a message of affordability for regular New Yorkers. More and more people began to pay attention and agree with what he was saying, all helped by his natural charisma and affable nature.
