Democrats collapsed here last year. How’d Zohran do?
New York's mayor-elect launched his campaign by talking to non-voters and Trump supporters. Some of them even came along.

Nagging pet peeve for me: NYC has more "diverse" political takes than any purple place in the entire country. This just a way to say "I need 5 to 15 percent of white homwoners' vote that I assume are basically Republicans." Which is fine, but the phrasing here is just absurd
