Republicans are hysterical about Mamdani's victory in New York City's mayoral race and predict a meltdown for the city. But he will be a small threat to the city and none for the nation. Just look at what he has promised:
Affordable Housing: Freezing rent on rent-stabilized apartments and implementing city-wide rent freezes.
Public Transit: Making buses free and faster for all New Yorkers.
Economic Measures: Creating city-owned grocery stores in each borough and increasing the minimum wage to $30 by 2030.
Social Services: Implementing universal child care services.
Public Safety: Establishing a new Department of Community Safety to respond to certain emergencies with mental health care workers instead of police.
