The political calculus in New York State
The political calculus in New York State has been fundamentally complicated by the friendly, if highly improbable, meeting between Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and President Donald Trump. While Mamdani’s victory was initially a political gift to Republicans seeking to mobilize voters against what they branded as “socialist rule,” the President’s subsequent public cordiality–calling Mamdani “a very rational person”–has partially defanged the most potent rhetorical weapon against the new administration (I’ll stick up for you’: key moments from the cordial Trump-Mamdani meeting – The Guardian).
