Handing City hall to Mamdani. What do you say to response to that? Let me ask you a question. Who lost to Mandani? Cuomo. Right. Cuomo handed him the Democratic nomination by not campaigning against him, Cuomo was 40 points ahead three months before and lost by 13 points. So if you want to blame anybody for the rise of Zor Ahmadami, you blame the Democrats. A failed crooked Democratic mayor who under normal circumstances would have been the incumbent running for reelection against Curtis Lee with a Republican round two. (05:06–05:19)
