Some of those who supported Mamdani said they felt their contributions could forecast a rise in a larger network of Muslim Americans fundraising in national politics.

Mamdani’s trouncing of Cuomo marked the biggest national victory for lefties since Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won her first election in an upset over entrenched Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley in 2018, Smith said.

The former governor, now running for NYC mayor as an independent, is trying to up his social media game. Zohran Mamdani's supporters quickly noticed.

The poll results emerge as Cuomo relaunched his campaign as an independent following his primary defeat by Mamdani.

Zohran Mamdani could barely walk a few feet at a recent Juneteenth festival in Queens without a crowd of selfie-demanding admirers trying to stop him.

Cuomo's comeback announcement got significantly ratioed by Mamdani's reply, which also raked in lots of new donations for the Democratic mayoral nominee.

AOC, who loudly backed Mamdani during the primary, said she was eager for people in DC to meet her fellow lefty firebrand face-to- face to hear his plan for NYC.

Mr. Mamdani, a state assemblyman and the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, is taking on a small handful of more experienced campaign hands.
