Mamdani released a video last year right after the election where he went to the New York City neighborhoods that supported President Donald Trump the most. And it’s a fascinating watch because the majority of what Trump supporters said they wanted from Trump are almost verbatim what Mamdani ran on: Lower prices on food and gas, cheaper rent, and an end to the conflict in Gaza.
Now, of course, Trump is a liar and nothing he’s done over the last six months has made life easier for anyone, let alone working class Americans, especially the immigrants in the neighborhoods that Mamdani visited, but Trump’s promise to do something about those issues clearly resonated with people. And it’s, frankly, shocking that it took a leftist candidate this long to capitalize on those false promises. Definitely seems like a better strategy than whatever the heck Project 2029 is.
