Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday accused Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani of political dishonesty, calling him a “fraud” and pointing to past

Mamdani surged from one percent in polls in February to 56 percent by July, fuelled in no small part by social media.

In a town where all politics is tribal, Mamdani has emerged as a leader of New York’s South Asian community, 600,000 strong, which is now following its Irish, Italian, Jewish, Black, and Latino predecessors in demanding a seat at the table inside City Hall. That bloc is squarely behind Mamdani and fighting hard for victory in November.

Instead of studying Zohran Mamdani's success, political pundits seem to be blaming Gen Z for voting the way that they did this election.
