Zohranomics Promises Havana on the Hudson
20th September 2025
Zohran Kwame Mamdani has had a fantastic week. The Democratic Party’s nominee for mayor of New York City, a self-avowed democratic socialist, secured the endorsement of Kathy “the Hack” Hochul, the Empire State’s bland, witless governor.
As colorless as nitrogen, Hochul discovered that Mamdani is her man to occupy Gotham’s City Hall. And it took her only 11 weeks since the Democrat primary to do so. That’s leadership.
Meanwhile, a Marist University survey of 885 likely voters found that Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman from Queens, enjoys 45% support. Mamdani is the tallest bush in a grove of shrubs. Former Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent, earned 24% in that survey. Guardian Angels founder and Republican hopeful Curtis Sliwa stood at 17%. Finally, incumbent Democrat Mayor Eric Adams, also competing as an independent, brought up the rear at just 9%. (Error margin: plus or minus 4.1%.)
