Mamdani is out there everyday talking to people, earning their votes, building bridges and coalitions. He's not looking to attack Democrats or the Democratic Party. He's young, he's listening and he's learning. He's a breath of fresh air.

There are a select few out there who want to use him as a means to attack Democrats. That is not what Mamdani is about and nobody is doing him any favors by using him in this way. And Mamdani himself is certainly not looking for that.
