Khanna Says Democrats Should Learn From Mamdani’s Focus on ‘Affordability’

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 6 – A poll finds New York City voters split on Mamdani's proposed 2% millionaire tax and corporate tax hikes to fund affordable housing and public transit programs.

  • Zohran Mamdani won the 2025 New York City Democratic mayoral primary with a platform focused on affordability and environmental justice.
  • Mamdani built his campaign by linking green infrastructure to economic relief, addressing housing, utility costs, and public health together.
  • Polls show New Yorkers overwhelmingly see affordability as a crisis, with 93% agreeing, but voters remain split on Mamdani’s tax proposals for the rich and corporations.
  • Rep. Ro Khanna said Mamdani won by focusing on pocketbook issues like economy, jobs, healthcare, and affordability, which mobilized many voters despite criticism.
  • Mamdani’s victory suggests Democrats may benefit from emphasizing economic concerns alongside climate and social justice issues in future campaigns.
