He knows the answer to this question. His job is keeping his viewers from figuring it and on some level he may be good at that, at least

African Muslim Socialist solidarity isn't what it used to be. Smh
Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters
