Political experts warn that Mamdani’s victory could radically reshape New York City’s policies—especially on law enforcement and immigration. His platform advocates decriminalizing misdemeanors, reducing police presence, and fostering an environment of unchecked activism, risks that some say might turn the city into a “lawless zone,” reminiscent of failed urban centers worldwide.
Meanwhile, Cuomo’s independent bid and Sliwa’s conservative stance appeal to contrasting voter bases, but the momentum seems to be favoring Mamdani. Most polls indicate a significant lead among progressive and radical-left voters, potentially setting the stage for a historic and troubling shift in leadership.
