Leading America’s biggest city — the global financial capital, a media epicenter, and a sprawling metropolis of five boroughs covering 300 square miles — is a hard enough job. Addressing quality-of-life concerns, while keeping business humming, should take top priority for any mayor of New York City. Yet socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani has all but vowed to drag his future constituency into the kind of destructive cultural warfare that the rest of the country voted to turn back from last year.
His suddenly impassioned advocacy on transgenderism could also prove to be a distraction from the far more popular agenda of “affordability” that Mamdani has been running on all along.
