Mamdani's Rise to Power Raises Questions About His Lacking Public Service Record

Zohran Mamdani's win over former New York governor Andrew Cuomo represents a victory for the new guard, progressive wing of the Democratic Party, but his record in public service could leave much to be desired. His thin work resume includes rapping and acting as some of his fringe activities. The 2022 election marked a significant shift towards progressive candidates in the party. Mamdani's win has been seen as a victory for this faction within the Democratic Party.
