Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s come-from-behind victory in this
summer’s Democratic primary for New York City mayor is already
the stuff of political legend. But in many ways, the most
intriguing phase of his campaign has been the period since then,
as he has labored, painstakingly, to win over his skeptics. How,
exactly, would a 33-year-old member of the Democratic Socialists
of America, with little management experience and a record of
polarizing pronouncements, win over enough voters to prevail in
the general election?

So far, the polls suggest he’s doing just that.

And so, a few days ago, “The Daily” sat down Mr. Mamdani for an
extended conversation about his campaign, the forces and ideas
that have animated it and his plans, if elected on Nov. 4, to
deliver on his campaign promises and contend with a Republican
president who has promised to treat him as an enemy from his
first day in office.

Guest: Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor of New
York City.
