From its previous condemnation of the police to protect people using the phrase “Globalization of Intifada”, the records of far-flung statements of Mamdani have put both Republican and Democrats on high alert.

Slotin spoke to NBC News correspondent Julie Tsirkin on Monday night after his town hall. While tsirkin noted The crowd was “made up of white seniors and old voters,” Slotin repeatedly made young people’s economic concerns.

New York Democrat says that Mayor’s candidate Zoharan Mamdani ‘also’ extreme to lead ‘

“I think this is the existence of our time, a shrinking middle class and the idea that young people feel that they have done everything right, and they do not have the same opportunity that their parents were, and they feel disappointed about it,” Slotkin told the reporter.

“And then the second thing is that they want to see a new generation leadership. I mean, I am 49 years old, so I am much better than my youngest voters, and I am like a spring chicken in the Senate. So they don’t see themselves in elected leadership,” he said.

TSIRKIN also asked whether the prominence of the cost of the living issue is why Mammadani won such a surprising victory in New York.

“Yes,” Slotin agreed. “I have said very openly that I do not – I would never be called an expert on New York City politics, but two messages were like a blinking red light. How can you miss them? People are still focusing on the cost of life and how they cannot move forward.

“I may not agree with many things that Mr. Mamdani is proposed, but it is difficult to remember the message of that election, which I think I think in November is very similar, clearly, clearly,”. “The cost of life is still the biggest issue for those I talked to.”
