Zohran Mamdani came out of nowhere to win the Democratic primary for New York Mayor over former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Due to his rapid ascension to the top of the city's Democratic party, some are questioning how much the public really knows about the Queens Assembly member. Vickie Paladino, New York City Council member representing District 19 of Northeast Queens, told Mendte in the Morning that she thinks the voters of New York City need to be made aware of the true Mamdani.
“The average Jane and John do not know who this guy is,” Paladino tells host Larry Mendte. “We need to educate people, that’s our job.”
Paladino believes the keys to defeating the Democratic Socialist are quite simple: “I feel that the candidates…they need to go after [Mamdani] but also concentrate on their message; on what they plan to do for New York City.”
