Mandani's opposition has been tireless in trying to get him into making stances on wedge issues, especially on things like foreign policy, to deflect from his popular intended policies as mayor.

So recently like after months of being burned by his own party for supporting Palestinians, he made a statement that called Oct 7 a war crime. So now the job is to paint him as a secret zionist.

Which again, is not an issue for a NYC mayor. His plans to tax the rich, however, is.

If Mamdani backed down from free busses and rent freezes, then we'd have cause for concern.
