Zohran's run one of the smartest, most focused campaigns Ive ever seen. Honestly at this point his competition is in a race to the bottom, I'd say most NY'ers, even the millionaires, like him. It seems most of the people with issues with him are billionaires or people that live in the suburbs.

+1. Philanthropist Elizabeth Simons, the daughter of Renaissance Technologies founder James Simons, gave $250,000 to a super PAC supporting Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani last week. It's nice to know there are some decent wealthy people out there still.
I think a lot of people in the 'less than a billion' range probably understand that raising the floor of the quality of life in the place they live is a net boon for everyone and that they wont really miss the extra couple thousand a year they pay in to make that happen. The problem really always seems to be the ultra-hyper-mega-wealthy.
