Zohran Mamdani on the Night Shift for Mayor
As Election Day nears, Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Kwame Mamdani returns to his base among New York City’s multiracial working class.
At LaGuardia Airport in Queens, the sounds of yellow cabs, planes, and airport noise fill the air. By 9:45 p.m., the rain has subsided, and Mamdani, dressed in a black suit and tie, is focused on his commitments to make the city affordable for all.
“We need new people who are going to bring change,” said Mohammed, a 54-year-old Bangladeshi Uber driver who voted early for Mamdani. “He cares about the people, the poor people.”
Mamdani's campaign is gaining momentum, with some joking that his main opponent is already beaten, as per his campaign's email around 6 p.m.
Author's summary: Zohran Mamdani connects with NYC's working class.
