00:00New York City is on the brink of a political earthquake.
00:07Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist immigrant and state assemblyman, is now neck
00:20and neck with Andrew Cuomo in the mural race.
00:28This isn't just a campaign, it's a movement.
00:31According to the latest polls, Mamdani has surged a hat in ranked choice voting simulations,
00:42beating Cuomo 52% to 48%.
00:46His grassroots campaign has knocked on over a million doors, reached $8 million, and drawn
00:54support from across the country.
00:56He is running on a bold platform, rent freezes, free childcare, city-owned grocery stores,
01:06and a $30 minimum wage by 2030.
01:10And he is not afraid to challenge the status quo, whether it's billionaires, big landlords,
01:18or political dynasties.
01:19I'll be real, voting Mamdani's rise feels like voting history unfold.
01:27As someone who believes in storytelling that connects this campaign, it's different.
01:34It's not just about policies.
01:36It's about dignity, equity, and the power of people who've been ignored for too long.
01:44Seeing a Muslim, South Asian immigrant candidate unapologetically speak truth to power, that's
01:52powerful, that's personal.
01:53Mamdani's been under fire for his stance on Gaza and his criticism of US foreign policy.
