    And that’s really critical. And I think that’s one of the lessons from Mamdani’s campaign, is that he focused on affordability. He focused on a message that was resonant with voters, and he campaigned for something, not against other people or against other things. He campaigned on a vision of how he was going to make New York City a better place to live.

      And to the point, Democrats need to stop trying to convert Maga voters. They need to focus on the non-voters who are disillusioned with a system that doesn’t serve them. And what do they have to do? Just like Mamdani is doing: do what the people want. They’ll shower are you with votes and money.
