💨 Abstract

Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old social democrat, is on the brink of a surprising victory in the New York City Democratic primary for mayor. Mamdani's progressive platform, focusing on affordability and social justice, has resonated with young voters and progressives. He promises to freeze rent increases, provide free public transit, universal childcare, and subsidized grocery stores, funded by higher taxes on the wealthy.
