Mamdani won the House minority leader's district by double digits in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, prompting one critic to ask, "Do those voters not matter?"
And that’s why Mamdani won, he wasn’t promising vague platitudes. He was promising very specific actions that are entirely within the power of the mayor’s office to enact. A lot of his agenda will simply be signing legislation passed by the City Council that Mayor Adams vetoed. He convinced people to vote for him because he not only had a ideas, but a very specific and tangible plan on how to achieve them. And Mamdani’s changes are good.
