If there is one thing celebrities love, they are dumping political support for radical candidates, whether it’s taxes, housing, or police, where potentially disastrous policies never really affect them.
New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani appears to have beaten former governor Andrew Cuomo, leading up to the Democratic primary on Tuesday. Thanks to the city’s ranked voting system, Mamdani has a decent shot. There’s more support Regarding the total of live votes. (Subscribe to Mr. Right, a weekly newsletter on modern masculinity)
While Mamdani appears to receive more support among Zoomer, millennials, male and white voters, Cuomo appears to perform better in the working-class minority. But Mamdani’s popularity among that cohort and his latest support from model and actress Emily Ratakovsky highlight the current identity crisis of the Democrats, which was fully exhibited in the 2024 election.
Three things that drive the surge in the number of ticks @emersonpolling:
1) Mamdani Up 2:1 in Gen Z, Millennials, Young Gen Xers.
2) Mamdani +12 among men.
3) Mam ticks +22 among white voters.https://t.co/7mpoeyd3dc

Wearing a “Hot Girls for Zohran” t-shirt, Ratajkowski urged young New Yorkers to vote for Mamdani in a video posted on her Instagram account on Tuesday.
“This election will be decided by young voters,” she said. “The average New Yorker is 38. The final mayoral race was decided by 7,000 voters, which means that voting is really important.
Ratajkowski’s Mamdani support is, in a nutshell, like a Democrat. Come here with rich, white-coloured experts and celebrities who support radical policies that ruin the lives of those who claim to fight on behalf of those who are to represent them. And it points to the other part of the equation: Centreists like Cuomo are lazy and lacking ideas.
You don’t have to be a hardcore socialist to be bold, but it’s a practical policy idea that can actually improve the lives of your members. No revolution is needed for landlords to find ways to alleviate absurd rents. Cuomo is I’ll talk a lot And also because he sees the job of America’s biggest city mayor in 2028 as just a stepping stone to an oval office.
If Democrat moderates are not squatting their glory and they can run a mediocre campaign with mediocre candidates (looking at you, looking at Kamala Harris), and they win just because they’re not another guy, there’s no chance that a socialist will run a big apple. Of course, they weren’t, so now there’s a chance.
