In just a few days, New York City, the world's business capital, will select its next mayor.
The favorite to win is Democrat Zohran Mamdani, a self-described Democratic socialist. This title has raised concerns among both Republicans and some Democrats.
In addition to his controversial views on Israel, his platform—which includes free buses, universal child care, and city-run grocery stores—has prompted many prominent Democrats to hesitate before supporting the frontrunner in next week's NYC mayoral race.
