John Nichols---Sanders knows that if Zohran Mamdani is elected as mayor of New York City on Tuesday, it will matter most profoundly for the people of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. But the Brooklyn-born senator from Vermont believes that a victory for his fellow democratic socialist will resonate far beyond Americas largest city.I consider the New York City mayors race enormously important, not just for New York City but as a very profound statement in terms of whats happening all over this country, Sanders tells The Nationin an exclusive interview. I think there is profound disgust at the political establishment. People want real change, and a strong victory on the part of Mamdani, I think, will inspire people all across our country to fight for that change.
