In a moment that largely went unnoticed in the national press, self-styled socialist Zohran Mamdani announced during the most recent mayoral debate that he had struck a deal with the devil: he would keep the current NYPD commissioner, Jessica Tisch, despite her glaring political differences. It seems like a local story, but it may have sweeping implications for whether the Mamdani experiment will work in New York City, and whether he can live up to his other bold campaign promises, such as making the city more affordable as a socialist. Meanwhile, left-wing backlash to his debate pledge may be the first major crack in his coalition that previously looked as robust as a boulder. (Subscribe to MR.
