Less than 30% of Democrats voted in the mayoral primary. Of those, supposedly, 43.5% voted for Mamdani. So some 12.9% of New York Democrats voted for Mamdani.
56% of registered voters in the city are Democrats so some 7.2% of city residents voted for him.
New York City has a population of 8.2 million. Of those 432,305 or 5% voted for Mamdani.
This isn’t a mandate. It’s a city that tuned out the election because it saw no one worth voting for and ceded the playing field to radicals and extremists. The media is doing its best to hype those numbers as a stunning mandate when what they really represent are high levels of turnout by Mamadani’s base and low turnout by everyone else.
Who are those 5%? They aren’t New Yorkers because polls showed us Mamdani performing poorly with anyone over 50, with African-American, Latino and working class white voters. What’s left? White hipsters and Muslim immigrants.
