>I don't know about age breakdown, but in sheer percent of voters, Mamdani has essentially the same mandate Trump had a year ago.

Huh?

Trump v. Harris (2024) [0]

Trump: 49.8%, Harris: 48.3%

Margin: 1.5%

Mamdani v. Cuomo vs. Sliwa (2025) [1]

Mamdani: 50.4%, Cuomo: 41.6%, Sliwa: 7.1%

Margins:

Mamdani v. Cuomo: 9.8%

Mamdan v. Sliwa: 40.7%

how is that even remotely comparable?
