Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic nomination for New York City's mayor on Tuesday .

The New York Times editorial board decried his agenda as reason for his success.

Now, the question is whether he can actually implement his policy agenda.

Mammani is still facing skepticism from the state’s leading Democratic officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul .

Mamdani 's experience as an activist would allow him to mobilize his supporters, and put pressure on state legislators to approve his priorities.

The DSA nominee would not pursue a “dictatorial” governance model, says Susan Kang , an associate professor of political science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice .

Trump has warned that he could cut funding to the city if he is elected mayor.

Mamdani says he's not trying to win as one man crossing the finish line, but instead as a candidate who would use his bully pulpit as mayor to “make the case as to why our agenda needs to be enacted in Albany ” Greer: Maddani is entering into a very different New York City .
