A win is a win, however Phillips O’Brien (mainly talks about Ukraine and war) said this on his Substack this morning:
Quote:
I personally do not know why everyone is obsessing about the New York City result. Mamdani actually underperformed as the Democratic Nominee, barely scraping 50% of the vote in a city that is overwhelmingly Democratic and which is not representative of US voting overall. In many ways his performance was unimpressive, and perhaps a warning to Democrats not to go too far to the left in the coming years. The Democrats have nominated Left-wing candidates in the recent past in New York. Bill De Blasio won in 2013 and 2017 with 73% and 67% of the vote respectively. As such Mamdani did rather poorly, despite all the histrionics of the press.
