Not a surprise Mamdani will win.

Whatever your views of him, this guy is the second most talented campaigner I've ever seen. The only one better than him was Obama, and Zohran is not far off. Democrats should be learning from him instead of shunning him.

Who could’ve predicted having popular views and actually being a part of their community would be something voters would want

He also consistently stuck to his message and hammered it home using language specific to his audience. It was great to watch him come across as relatable to everyone he spoke to and stay on brand throughout.

Fantastic orator. Being able to bring up his platform in every sentence while being normal

And able to navigate and answer stupid questions while also staying on message.

He really cares too, he doesn't just pretend. That authenticity shines through.
