President Donald Trump is starring himself as the savior and New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani as the devil in the political drama unfolding across the Big Apple.

A Democratic state assemblyman noted for his decisive primary win as a socialist candidate over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mamdani has emerged as the new darling of the national progressive movement, joining Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in calling for policies designed to appeal to working-class voters.
