Zero charisma. Bland campaign. Unprepared as she was not able to answer a number of questions during debates. She's barely eking out a win, which means she'll be vulnerable come next election. I don't forsee her having a successful tenure.
If you're holding her to Mamdani campaign standards, you're going to be disappointed no matter the candidate.
Let's let her cook a bit and then decide how she performed.
The lack of charisma, fine, but how do you not have answers to fundamental questions?
Not to say such knowledge gaps can't limit her effectiveness, but from what (little) I've read and heard of her, she seems to be fundamentally a community organizer and as mayor will probably work accordingly: She may or may not successfully make up for such gaps by knowing whom to trust both integrity- and competence-wise.
