I like Zohran Mamdani

[Quiet Em]

and I like how he is inspiring young voters. I smiled when my yougest daughter, 26, as me when the early voting for our primary was a few weeks ago. I immediately knew she was asking because she had been following the excitement around Zohran. But I told her we are not in the city so we don't vote for their mayor. There was actually nothing for us to vote for in our primary because the only race on our ballot was a Republican primary for Town Justice.

I read up on Zohran's parents and I think they are pretty terrific too. Intelligent, kind, compassionate.

What I don't like is that some of his supporters are using him as a means to attack the Democratic Party and Democrats. That's a turnoff. I want Mamdani to win the general election, but if some Democratic voters are turned off by these divisive attacks, it will make it harder for him.
