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.

And it's probably all small donations.

Love it.

I hope this isn't Bernie 2016 2.0

I think it's far more likely he turns out to be a retread of Obama 2008, where he is super charismatic and says all the right things, but then immediately turns stooge for the billionaires once he's in power.
