Zohran Mamdani Defeated a Corrupt, Weak Democratic Party Establishment

Zochran Mammani went down on Tuesday evening in Mary’s chief Democratic Mary, having gained not only Andrew Kuom, but also the whole political and media that merged around the former governor. The monders won, winning the expectations, knocking down the election, beating big money, winning the approval of legendary political leaders and dear institutions. This is a victory over the elite, which was hostile to the youth energy and the economy. Axios it correctly calls it ”The winning earthquake“I am sure that Mammani is not the mayor yet.

The scale of his victory can be evaluated by the huge obstacles he had to overcome. In the final results of Mamman Open kuoma in the first round 8.1 points 43.5 percent to 36.4 percent. This will almost certainly increase when the voting system is implemented, and Mammani select votes from other candidates. But everyone but one of the polls made before the election was headed by Kuoma in the first round. In the hall The New York Times. The latest poll results in the first round were Yougov (Cuomo +10), Harrisx (Cuomo +19), Emerson (Cuomo +3), the Manhattan Institute (Cuomo +3), the Cuomo +8 Strategic Policy Center, the Marist College (Cuomo +12). Even one poll that Mammani won it: a poll of state policy (Mamdani +5).

The polls reflected the consensus that Kuoma was a formidable front participant and Mamman. For most of the elections, this was a reasonable assumption.

As a candidate for Kuom, there were obvious shortcomings: he retired as a governor in 2021 after reliable charges of sexual harassment. His governor was twisted by scandal, in particular his Incorrect management Outdated houses during a pandemic. But these scandals, though real, did not seem politically deadly. After all, Donald Trump was even more serious and numerous for sexual harassment scandals. He also wrongly ruled Covid, and he managed to win the presidency in 2024. When the public is like the politician, they are ready to forgive almost any misdemeanor.

Kuoma led the election due to his huge name. In addition to his stay as the governor, his family has been acting in New York politics for decades, and his late father Mario Kuom has been the governor from 1983 to 1994.

Quoma called for his extensive political network to put An impressive list Conceptions, including former President Bill Clinton, former mayor Michael Bloomberg and South Carolina Kliburo representative (the famous royal craftsmen who was important for the 2020 presidential democratic candidacy). Unions who tend to want to play safety by supporting probable winners, missing On the part of Kuom, this included two important unions that once called for him to resign the governorship (local 32bj the International Union of Service and Board of Hotel and Game Bidding).

The greatest advantage of kuom was in money. The billionaires, fearing Mamman’s promises to tax saturated, make buses free and freeze rent, made their mission to provide a cuomo nomination. According to The New York TimesPro-Cuomo Super Pac fix the city raised $ 25 million (including more than $ 8 million from Michael Bloomberg), making it “financial juggernut on the track to spend three times more than Mr. Kuoma’s actual company legally.” In conjunction with $ 8 million, the Pro-Cuomo spent $ 33 million. Pro-Mamdani Super PACS had less money for work (approximately $ 1.7 million in addition to $ 8 million).

Combined with the money was the support of the media. It was difficult not to notice the anti-MamdanNEW YORK POST) But in the main publications. The New York Times continued to talk about lack of experience of Mamman and Atlantic propose Mammani was a threat to the safety of Jews.

But if all the benefits of Kuom led to a careful election, perhaps they were not benefits. Mammani turned out to be a great company with a message that resonated with voters. Kuoma, on the contrary, was aside and seemed to see how few voters, how he could leave. Perhaps he felt that, as a former governor, work was under him.

Like the 2024 presidential election, Mary Primeris was in the election. The victory depended on the anger of the voters. It is noteworthy that Mammani seems to have made a well -made demographic that departed from the Democratic Party in 2024, including young people (especially young people), Asians and Latinos.

In truth, Mammani used a candidate from the anti-system, and Kuom was weighed, being a boy-poster. Following the failure of Biden’s presidency, who showed how unhappy the centristic democrats were before the crisis of this point, why would the party’s elders help? In 2025, which can seriously treat Bill Clinton’s political parade with Jim Klim. In 2020, the party’s elite united around the unsuccessful and reduced Biden, which succeeded in the short term – abandoned the selection and election, but the strategy eventually led to the catastrophe.

Mammani’s victory is a sign that the Democratic Party institution gets into trouble and the party is ready for a broad uprising. The next step of the progressive Democrats is to start working with the rebel candidates for primaries to use the anger of this moment. You can easily imagine harmful figures such as Richie Torres, Hakim Jeffreis and Chuck Sumer aimed at major problems. Mammani outlined a strategy. The left should now follow his example.

The Democratic Party institution is old, weak and corrupt. Keeping power is the most important part of the rescue of the American Democracy.

Chief Data Analyst CNN Harry Anthan summary The election, saying, “People who hate this result are a democratic institution. We saw a survey after the survey showing democratic voters who are tired of their leaders in Washington, tired of their leaders in the government.” Now the purpose must be to give the institution a lot of elections for hatred.
