Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory over three-term ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s mayoral primary is a “political earthquake” that will pressure the national Democratic Party to move further left, political analysts told The Post.
Dems who got trounced by President Trump and the GOP last year will have to pay more attention to the views of progressive, younger voters who propelled Mamdani’s candidacy — as well as struggling working-class voters — as they prepare for midterm congressional elections, strategists, pollsters and union leaders said.
“It’s an important moment in political history,” said Basil Smikle, a former executive director of the New York State Democratic Party and senior aide to then-Sen. Hillary Clinton.
