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.

I hope not, he is a member of DSA and gets a lot of his support from them so if he goes that route he's gonna lose the people he has around him right now that are a large reason as to why he's successful. Hopefully he doesn't join the establishment like Obama did and instead can be a Trump like force from the left to oppose the status quo and fight for people.

I hope I'm wrong. I just don't expect any good to come from a Democrat at this point.
