"But the establishment’s machine was no match for the momentum behind Mamdani, who worked closely with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Their progressive political movement, deeply rooted in democratic socialism, has been steadily gaining ground—election after election, neighborhood by neighborhood—through tireless grassroots organizing, door-to-door campaigning, and small-dollar donations.

“This is a victory for every New Yorker who has been told they don’t have a voice,” Mamdani said in his victory speech. “It’s proof that organized people can beat organized money.”"

My guess is that the Dems will give him plenty of support and he'll lose to the GOP candidate in a landslide. New Yorkers elected Bloomberg and Giuliani and will elect another GOP even if they hate Trump.

He's being set up as a sacrificial lamb to the idea that Progressives can't win.
