Mamdani’s social media savvy helped catapult him to a historic win in the Democratic primary for NYC mayor. Now, opponents are sifting through his online life in an attempt to tarnish his reputation before the general election.

It's actually not what won him the campaign, Deja Foxx did the same but lost because her policies were less progressive than the established older canidate who was backed by Bernie and AOC
