The socialist insurgency will keep growing unless the party center stops it.The 33-year-old Mr. Mamdani is leading in the race, having won the Democratic primary as a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Andrew Cuomo, who lost in the primary, is running as an independent and has closed the polling gap since Mayor Eric Adams left the race. But it remains double digits.

Mr. Mamdani is a talented political performer and has benefited from his unpopular opponents. Mr. Cuomo has a Queen Mary full of baggage from his tenure as Governor, and Republican Curtis Sliwa is a political retread who seems to be in the race largely to help his radio talk show. Mr. Cuomo will have to attract Republicans away from Mr. Sliwa, who is polling about 15%, to have a chance.
