So what I am staring at is a line of people waiting to get inside Zoran Mamdani's campaign rally here in Washington Heights.

It's now 6 p.m. on Monday night, October 13th.

It's hard to explain just how big this line is.

It literally spans three and a half blocks, and it is dense.

And we are going to talk to people in this line and inside this rally about what it is

Mamdani means to them.

Let's go.

We're from the show called The Daily.

Oh, hello.

Hi.

And we're just going to ask people, in a word, what Mom Dani means to you, what he represents.

One word?

Yeah.

Compassion.

Honestperson.

He's real. He's brown and I'm brown. That's simple. That's simple. Yeah. Hope. Hope. My first choice would be hope and then the future. I think he is a fresh and actual change in the party. I'm 16 years old and from what I've heard. No, I can't. But I've been volunteering under Zoran. And apparently, according to adults, it's really rare to be, like, happy or excited about a politician. So, you know, this is kind of a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I'm here because, actually, my son turned me to Zohan. I didn't know anything about him. I was talking to him one day. I said, you know, I may just vote for Cuomo because I thought it was Cuomo and Adam.

Yeah. He's like, you didn't hear about Sorhand. And I said, uh, no. He sent me a couple of videos. And I liked what he had to offer. You know. So much so that you're here at his rally. And I've been chemistry for him, actually, the past three weeks, so.

We're also very excited about his position about Palestine and what's going on.

I'm an anti-Zionist Jewish girl, and I think it's really important that people see that perspective, right?

Finally, some movement away from centrist pandering to oligarchic fascists, not to put too fine a point on it.

A rather fine point.
