Running a smear campaign against a Socialist at a time when Trump has Dems dunking on socialism feels like it shouldn’t be hard. Yet they’ve chosen the strategy of creating the scandal of reminding everyone that Mamdani’s mom is kind of awesome.

Yeah, whether or not the nation agrees, New York City is really not the place you’re going to get away with pretending this very normal dude is an Islamist sleeper cell. They see immigrants every day, and I don’t think they’re going to bite here. But frankly I think a lot of the approach we’re seeing from the right has nothing to do with the NYC Mayoral race, which is all but assured to go Mamdani’s way, but an approach to stick whatever they can do him on the national level to make a popular (D) politician into not just a lefty loon but also a scary jihadist.
