The primary challenge in the mayoral race is overcoming the voter disaffection and despair resulting from current political betrayals.

“And that is part of when people ask me who's my biggest opponent in this race. I say it's not any one of the candidates on the ballot. It's the disaection and despair that most New Yorkers feel when they think about politics because that is what keeps so many home.”

The candidate Mamdani has never run a business and his policies are fiscally disconnected from reality.

“this is a guy that's never run a business, let alone a city that has a hundred billion dollar budget in a $2 trillion economy. And the Atlantic, which is very liberal, likened his campaign to magical realism, claiming it was exuberantly disconnected from actual government budgets and organizational ”

He supports Zoran Mumdani's candidacy because he believes Mumdani is genuinely focused on material issues like housing, affordability, and transportation.

“Zor Mumdani has refused to take the bait again and again and focused on the issues. He's focused on housing. He's focused on affordability. He's focused on transportation. Those are things that matter.”
