He didn’t. Mamdani won a majority of NYC, but he lost the conservative parts to Cuomo.

That said, Mamdani got a decent amount of small business support for campaigning on streamlining a lot of the city’s regulations to bring down costs. This includes getting rid of the secondary market for various medallions.

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.
