Zohran Mamdani won the New York City Democratic mayoral primary on June 24 with 56% of the vote in the final runoff, but several prominent Democrats have still not endorsed him. Those withholding support include Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, Sen. Gov.

    Because he’s a leftist who’s apparently sincerely promising to actually work for the benefit of ordinary people and appears ready to actually do that if he wins.

    Democrats like to pretend that they’re all of those things too, but really all they ever try to be is somewhat less awful than Republicans, which is an easy enough task that they can generally succeed.

    But if they end up being compared with someone like Mamdani, they’re going to be revealed for the complacent, corrupt conservatives they actually are.

    Because Democratic elites prefer Trump to Mamdani.
