You Decide with Errol Louis

Defying the odds with Zohran Mamdani


Listen Later

The surprising Democratic primary victory of 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo has left many political insiders scratching their heads. What does this mean for the future of the Democratic Party and how did a young assemblyman who was polling at 1% in February defeat a well-known New York political giant?

NY1 political reporter Ayana Harry joined NY1 political anchor Errol Louis to discuss the stunning results of this week’s primary. They also talked about Cuomo’s strategy of limited public engagement and reliance on traditional campaign methods, which ultimately failed. The conversation covered Mamdani’s effective ground game, enthusiastic voter engagement and modern digital tactics. Other topics included the impact of a super PAC’s spending, the role of minority and younger voters, and the implications for future elections in New York City politics.
