Mamdani is in a curious position of having a large popular following within the city that is alienated from both D and R parties.

This means he can win elections. But it also means he's exposed to whatever legalistic horseshit the heavy hand of the state can throw his way. I fully expect the Dems to look the other way as Trump's legal goons try to run Zohran out of town. The Hillarycrats would love nothing more than for Andrew Cuomo (or even Eric Adams) to get the mayoral race handed to them through the removal of a legitimate populist in their ranks.
