Maverick

Zohran Mamdani is astute, well-spoken and extremely smart which is why both the GOP and the corporate Democrars are worried about his platform. 

A sweaty and disheveled Trumpy Dumpty calls him a communist and house leader Jeffries is non-commital on an endorsement because Mamdani threatens the capitalism orthodoxy of the country. He wants to take things back to a time before Democrats were corporatist and still wanted to help the disenfranchised and the working class. 

In fact the reason he won the primary was that he reached out to voters who told him what their main concerns were. Some of those people were Trump voters in more conservative burroughs of NYC.

He is unabashedly progressive and wants to help make New York a more affordable place to live and improve life for as many people as possible. This is of course anathema for Democrats who take envelopes from big corporate donors. 

If Mamdani is allowed to start a fire which cannot be extinguished it will spell doom for many politicians which is why they are going to throw everything at him plus the kitchen sink.
