Give Zohran Mamdani credit: he’s not backing away from his radioactive agenda for New York City as the election approaches. He means exactly what he says.

Last Friday, the Democratic nominee for mayor told CNN that if he wins in November with even just a third of the vote against Andrew Cuomo and incumbent mayor Eric Adams, he will still govern from the far left.

“Would you see [a small margin victory] as a mandate to do all the things that you’ve run on?” CNN’s Abby Phillips asked.

“If you win an election, you have to govern to fulfill the promises of that,” Mamdani replied.

He cited Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who was Kamala Harris’ running-mate, as advising him “the point of political capital is to use it to actually deliver on those commitments.”

Yikes! Tim Walz is his inspiration! And he admits it!

Mamdani’s proposals include a punitive tax on the wealthy, a rent freeze, a 4.5% increase in the corporate tax, free bus service and city-owned grocery stores. Much of that he could do on his own – without approval from the state legislature.

Mamdani’s roots are deep in the defund-the-police movement. He has said “the NYPD is racist, anti-queer and a major threat to public safety.” He now claims the police would still play a “critical role” if he were mayor.

New Yorkers go to the polls on November 4, and we could see the implications of a 33-year-old socialist running America’s empire city.
