Zohair Mamdani Leads NYC Mayoral Race Amid National Election Focus

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : In the June primary, the intraparty elections to pick the party candidates, Mamdani struck a stunning win, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo and sitting Mayor Eric Adams fueled by the city Democrat's anathema towards Trump and the candidate's promises of free city buses, rent freeze and taxing the rich and backed by a strategically astute army of youth, fresh off anti-Israel protests that rocked the city.
42% : While the communist moniker is contested, Trump and others base it on Mamdani's promise to Democrat Socialists to ultimately take over the means of production - a decidedly communist platform -- and similar statements which he and his supporters downplay now.
35% : Deeply anti-Israel to the extent of being anti-Semitic, according to some, he has also made the absurd threat of using city police to arrest Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who would be guarded by the federal Secret Service and his own bodyguards.
35% : He has accused the city's police department, which he has said he would cut, of being linked to Israel's military.
