Zohran Mamdani appeared on national TV (NBC's "Meet the Press") and showed the US why we New Yorkers voted for him over Andrew 'Benedict Arnold' Cuomo and former McDonald's night manager Curtis Sliwa (who is an animal rights advocate).
Zohran wants to create a social services constabulary (armed or unarmed) to deal with mental illness cases and disturbed homeless people. The term NYPD uses for them is "EDP" (Emotionally Disturbed Person) and these EDPs are treated more as suspected criminals rather than genuine psych patients. Zohran's strategy will then free up the 35,000-strong NYPD to deal with more serious issues, resulting in less Tasering or shooting of EDPs.
Even though House Minority Leader Hakeem "I Got Mine" Jeffries (D-NY) rendered a late and tepid endorsement for Zohran, the NYC Mayor-elect signaled he wants Jeffries to stay on. NYC Councilman Chi Osse then dropped out of the race to primary Hakeem.
NYS Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) would be wise to support Zohran's initiatives for NYC as she will be facing the vapid Elise Stefanik (R-NY) in 2026 whose platform is smearing Zohran as a communist Muslim socialist antifa Marxist jihadist and the face of the Democratic Party.
Outside NYC, the Empire State is basically Red. In 2022 Hochul won with 3,140,415 votes with a 47% voter turnout. The repugnant Lee Zeldin (R-NY) garnered 2,762,581 votes. The incumbent Democratic governor will need our downstate 1,036,051 votes in 50 weeks time.
"All aboard the Zohran Mamdani Express!"
