‘Who Cares About Israel? This Is About NY!’ Why Did Zohran Mamdani Win in NYC? | Counterpoints

New York City’s new mayor takes aim at the President during his victory speech. Not only was Zohran Mamdani a political outsider ahead of the mayoral race — he flourished during a particularly nasty smear campaign. Despite the limited power of the mayor’s office, Mamdani’s victory is being seen as a potential turning point in American politics. Some analysts call it a referendum on Trump and the MAGA movement, while others see it as a new path for the Democrats. 


On today’s Counterpoints, we debate: How did Zohran Mamdani win the New York mayoral race? Whether his victory was a referendum on Trump and MAGA politics. What lessons the Democrats can take from this result.
