Could the tide be shifting?

“Democratic strategist Max Burns told the Washington Examiner Obama’s support for Mamdani could reveal something changing within the Democratic party. ‘If he’s comfortable letting his name be linked to Mamdani so directly, it’s a good indication that we should expect some more established names to come out for Mamdani in the coming weeks,’ Burns said.”

“Mamdani’s critics would have you believe that he is somehow unusual or out of step with the values and interests of ordinary people. But as someone who has spent more than ten years cataloguing the weird, unsettling, and sometimes inscrutable behaviors of politicians in my job as a late night comedy writer, I can say with near certainty that the opposite is true. The core of Mamdani’s appeal is that he is aggressively, perhaps even radically, normal.”

“The threat of arrest is not the only backlash that Mamdani’s candidacy has received from the White House. Instead, in an incredible moralistic reversal for a conservative party that claims to advocate for states’ rights, Trump has further intervened in New York’s local elections by promising to cut off federal funding for the Big Apple if the citywide favorite wins Gracie Mansion in November.” 🤬

A fascinating look at how Dem party dynamics allowed Cuomo to run & Mamdani to win: “Many in the coming weeks will ask how Mamdani managed to win the primary — what policy demands and campaign strategies were most effective, what his coalition looked like. But another glaring question also needs answering: Why was Cuomo, who slunk out of office humiliated just three years ago, empowered to run to begin with?”

“You can’t run a Zohran Mamdani in every district in America, but you can run a Zohran Mamdani–style campaign almost everywhere. These are the lessons centrist Democrats in purple areas could stand to learn. Both the electorate and the media environment are changing quickly, and Democrats need to adapt to a new way of doing business.”

“We will look back on this primary win as the start of something new. If America is going to have one lone opposition party to fascism, that party does not have to suck. The establishment is too deeply rooted to move. So we will run them over.”
