NEWS UPDATE · VANCE vs MAMDANI
Vance asked for more time. Mamdani answered. In September, Vice President JD Vance told the All In podcast: “Give us another chance — or, give us another couple of years to continue to work on the amazing things…” After Democrats’ midterm night, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani replied on Nov 4: “Americans cannot afford two more years when their rent is due on the first of the month.”

NEWS UPDATE · MAMDANI POLL
Mamdani is popular in New York City. A Siena Research Institute poll (Oct 19-22) found 69% of New York City voters view Mayor Zohran Mamdani favorably and 28% unfavorably. Statewide, it was 47% favorable and 43% unfavorable. For comparison, Reuters/Ipsos put President Trump’s national approval at 32% (Oct 29 – Nov 2). Those numbers are not like-for-like: one is city voters only, the other is national. Claims that Mamdani is more popular nationally than the president, or that this is a first in US history, are not supported by these polls.
