Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic socialist running for mayor of New York City, supported defunding the police (as Gotham City crime spiked and the NYPD’s roster dwindled); he wants to institute government-run grocery stores, provide “free” buses, “free” child care, and freeze rent hikes. He’s refused to recognized Israel as a Jewish state and declined to condemn the Holocaust.
So, of course he’s got the backing of Hollywood celebrities.
Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon (who lost to then Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who’s also currently running for NYC mayor, in a 2018 gubernatorial race) race a full-throated endorsement of Mamdani as she hiked to her polling station to cast her vote for him. She’s never been more thrilled to vote for the candidate she also hosted a fundraiser for.
