ABC Swoons: ‘Savvy’ Zohran Mamdani Is ‘Snowballing’ to Victory With ‘A Common Touch’

Barring a massive upset on Tuesday, communist Zohran Madmani was headed to a victory in the New York City mayoral race and was greeted with fawning coverage in the elitist, liberal media on their flagship Tuesday morning news shows, declaring him as someone “snowballing” his “way towards history” with a “focus on affordability” and “robust” and “savvy social media-driven campaign.”

ABC’s Good Morning America was giddy at the prospect of being run by a communist with worldview that hates Israel, police, and wealth not captured by the government.

 

 

Chief investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky beamed from a Long Island City polling station that Mamdani’s “breakout campaign, once seen as a long shot, may be snowballing its way towards history” with the Big Apple “on the cusp of choosing a 34-year-old, self-described democratic socialist with little political experience as its 111th mayor.”

Katersky sounded like one of those star-crossed liberal journalists with weak knees talking about Barack Obama, circa 2007 and 2008: “While his opponents see nothing but faults, Zohran Mamdani's focus on affordability and a savvy social media-driven campaign striking a chord with the voters looking for a change.”

If that wasn’t a throwback to the decade of Obamagasams, maybe this will: “Mamdani tried to show a common touch, more like New Yorkers than their politicians...visiting a club...watching the Knicks from the nosebleeds, a contrast to his chief rival Andrew Cuomo, who sat with the current mayor courtside.”

Katersky spoke of Mamdani in the affirmative, but painted criticisms of Mamdani was only things others are claiming: “Cuomo lagging in the polls, accusing Mamdani of trying to turn the home of capitalism socialist.”

On CBS Mornings, senior White House and campaign correspondent Ed O’Keefe weighed in on Mamdani by touting his socialist platform and vaguely alluding to “his stance on Israel” as having “led some to accuse him of anti-Semitism.”

He also gave a boost to the notion of a Mamdani victory serving as a model for “Democrats nationwide”:

 

Shifting to NBC’s Today, Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles also trumpeted Mamdani’s wish list, but he was the only one to both highlight Mamdani’s “criticism of Israel” as well as “his previous call to defund the police”:

 

Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker also celebrated the rise of socialism in America’s largest city on the backs of “an incredibly robust social media campaign” based on “affordability”:
