While I cheer Mamdani in general, the fact that he鈥檚 talking to a disabled voter is exemplary to most of y鈥檃ll when disabled people make up 27.2% of the U.S. population and at least 67% of households and is an identity that touches all Americans at some point, is concerning.
This moment says everything about why Zohran Mamdani won.
A journalist in a wheelchair asked about accessibility and Mamdani didn鈥檛 talk down to him, didn鈥檛 deflect, didn鈥檛 politicize it. He listened.
He鈥檚 the kind of leader who respects everyone, every faith, every class, every flag.
