NYT was shocked that Mamdani didn't do that normie Dem thing where you immediately strike a conciliatory tone after winning. I think that surprise is also felt by Mamdani's opposition.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
