Zohran Mamdani pulled in almost double the funds of his nearest rivals for New York City mayor between early July and mid-August, as the candidates prepare for the crucial post Labor Day push to the November poll.

New York’s City’s campaign finance board said on Saturday that the democratic socialist, who won the Democratic party nomination in June against former state governor Andrew Cuomo, raised $1,051,200, with an average donation of $121 recorded equally from donors in and outside the state.

If you mean Elizabeth Warren then he better watch out or she'll join the race and stay in just long enough for the centrists to consolidate support and then drop out without endorsing him. That's exactly what she did to Bernie.

Exactly I wouldn't trust that snake with a ten foot pole. She isn't a progressive. If she thinks stabbing him the back could win her points she will dp it. Also I worry about Obama alternter motives.
