Generally you never win by taking the left or right voters. They already vote for/against you no matter what (or abstain from voting because they are so far left or right that they basically think you and your opponent is equally too far left/right).
You win by making the undecided middle vote for you. Every vote you gain from the center is also a vote your opponent loses.
Well I really hope the Democrats do that in the 2026 midterms and 2028 election. Seriously!
He didn’t. Mamdani won a majority of NYC, but he lost the conservative parts to Cuomo.
