Ever since Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor two months ago, Republicans have been licking their chops, and prominent Democrats have been squirming.

Gov. Kathy Hochul, who withheld an endorsement in the New York City Democratic primary, has yet to endorse the winner, Zohran Mamdani.

It’s not easy to move around New York City as Zohran Mamdani anymore.Like when the 33-year-old Democratic nominee for mayor leaves a union meeting to walk to his Manhattan campaign office, as he did one Monday morning in July.
