- Mamdani, an immigrant from Uganda and democratic socialist, received over 27,500 small contributions averaging about $62 while opposing former governor Andrew Cuomo, who had nearly $25 million from billionaire supporters.
- Sanders emphasized the importance of building a grassroots movement by engaging thousands of people with a progressive platform that addresses the concerns of working-class individuals, rather than relying on funding from billionaires and running ineffective television advertisements.
- Sanders suggested Harris might be president if she had run a Mamdani-style movement-based campaign, implying a shift toward grassroots organizing could influence future electoral strategies.
