He is the defendant of the Palestinian rights who have destroyed and evaluated the Israeli torture Claim group Israel attack on Gaza is a genocide.
Mamdani did not get down from his positions and he won and pulled out former Governor Andrew Kumo, who had more organizational support and had supported him with a record expense.
Mamdani’s supporters say that his victory can be a resistant point in US politics that support the election viability of the left -wing policies and the support of Palestine rights.
“This is a monument,” said Usamah Andabi, a spokesman for the progressive group of Justice Democrats.
“There is a limit to the true progressive people who want to assemble the workers against the billionaires and corporate super PACS, yet they refuse to compromise on major issues. As a genocide. “”
Although the official results are not yet final, Mamdani Kuomo is leading by more than seven percent in which almost every vote is calculated, while everything gets nomination.
Its lead is expected to increase with the subsequent reaction of the city’s selected voting system.
Kuomo has confessed to the defeat and Mamdani announced the victory and won the world’s largest city on the way to the next mayor.

“The fact that he refused to get down from his place of Palestine is huge,” Govyad told Al Jazir. “In the environment in which we have been told that it was politically ineligible to hold it, it was a movement that not only insisted on this position but also in a sense.”
She further said that if Mamdani critics had changed to satisfy it, he would have lost his support and enthusiasm for his last way. But with the support of Mamdani to Palestine, “Maybe strengthened their campaign”, she said.
Mamdani seemed late Abstraction In his campaign of democracy nominations. He not only had a lack of funds, but also reduced his name. Some voters knew who was compared to the candidate, Kuomo, Kuomo, the former Governor of the political dynasty in New York.
Kuomo’s father also served as the governor and in Tuesday’s race, he had approved the main persons of the National Democratic Party along with former President Bill Clinton and MP Jim Cleburn.
In the meantime, Mamdani was supported at the local branch of the US Democratic Socialist (DSA).
Because of this, Mamdani’s victory is amazing for his supporters. It appeared to be David and Golith’s battle, the struggle of the old guard and the new.
“The old guard person was beaten by a democratic socialist, a young man, a Palestine supporter, a brown Muslim boy, who was known by 1 percent of the name by February. “It is completely unprecedented and remarkable.”

But when he launched his campaign for the mayor, his attention was on local issues.
Still, Koomo – who resigned as the Governor of Summit in 2021 Accusation – Mamdani’s location on Israel and Palestine in the campaign tried to make a central issue.
Earlier this month, the former Governor Suggested Israeli abuse contributes to attacks on Jewish Americans. The target of his message appeared to be Mamdani.
“Hateful Foam haters. The rhetoric of ‘genocide,’ war criminals’ and ‘murderers’ should stop the rhetoric. It is spreading like cancer through the political body,” Koomo said in a social media post. Fire attack 15 people were injured in an Israeli supporter rally in Colorado.

Miller told Al Jazira, “Kuom is part of the old dinosaurs of thinking about politics.
The JVP action supported Mamdani at the beginning of his campaign. Miller said that while his campaign is affordable to New York, his progressive politics is based on supporting the humanity of all people including Palestine.
“Coomo was counting on the idea of Zoharan’s support Palestine Rights There will be a responsibility for him, but what it was shown last night is not true, “Miller said.
“And in fact, what I saw and what I saw was their support for the Palestine rights. It was a property of their campaign. This was integrated to the young voters.
In recent years, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has been poured by Israel’s supporter groups Record amount Money in democratic primary to defeat the supporters.
In the last election cycle, they helped remove two Democratic Congress members who criticized Israel: Jamal Bowman And Corey Bush.
The progressive lawyers say they hope that Mamdani’s victory will help to recruit in their favor.
Justice Democrats’ Inwardly said, “Finally we are looking at a turn point.” AIPAC loves to support Israel with good strategy and good politics. I think to support what is very clear at this stage Apartheid Bad policy and bad politics. “”
