With betting markets and polls favoring Zohran Mamdani in Tuesday’s New York City mayoral election, attention is turning to how the Democratic Socialists of America — a key force in his rise — would interact with a Mamdani City Hall. Politico has reported that even allies expect friction as campaign ideals meet governing trade-offs.
Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist and the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, is facing a wave of attacks invoking 9/11 and terrorism — from Republicans and, in some cases, Democratic figures — even as multiple late-October polls show him leading Andrew Cuomo in the Nov. 4 election.

Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa faced off in their first general election debate on October 16, 2025, at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, sparring over experience, public safety, affordability and foreign policy. The event, hosted by NBC 4 New York, Telemundo 47 and Politico, highlighted Mamdani's lead and Cuomo's defenses against past scandals. With Election Day on November 4, supporters rallied outside amid chants and arguments.
