- Summary:
- "Meet Mayor Mamdani, a substantially expanded edition of Ted Hamm's widely acclaimed Run Zohran Run!, maps how a groundbreaking candidate and his dynamic campaign for New York City mayor toppled a Democratic Party dynasty and ran circles around MAGA. Thirty-four-year-old Mamdani's straightforward, openly democratic socialist platform--a rent freeze, free buses, universal childcare, and city-run grocery stores--resonated across the increasingly unaffordable city. But Mamdani's job wasn't assured after winning the primary against "prince of darkness" Andrew Cuomo and his billionaire allies. Trump enthusiasts targeted Mamdani's heritage and support for Palestinian rights, unleashing a torrent of Islamophobic hate. Mamdani's canny instincts helped him outmaneuver local and national power players alike. Mamdani expanded his June coalition by bringing aboard city unions and stumping with mainstream Democratic Party leaders like Tish James. Steered by NYC-DSA, the campaign's massive outreach operation saw more than a hundred thousand volunteers interact with over three millions New Yorkers. Mamdani scored over 1.1 million votes, the highest total of any New York City mayoral candidate since John Lindsay in 1965. As fast-paced and compelling as its subject, Meet Mayor Mamdani reveals how a charismatic candidate and a vibrant grassroots campaign stayed ahead of the competition and set the stage for democratic socialism at City Hall"-- Publisher's website.
