“What do you make of Mamdani here in New York? And the reason I ask is he was somebody who really actually was able to persuade the younger voter. I mean, he really captured, obviously, on the complete opposite end, if you will, of where someone like Charlie would have been.” “It’s so interesting because I lived in Manhattan for a while and I loved this city. I’m going to come at this from a female voter because a high percentage of his voters were female. I think there’s a tendency, especially when you live in a city like Manhattan, where again, you are so career-driven and you almost look to the government as a form of replacement for certain things — relationship-wise even. So you see things a little bit differently. What I don’t want to have happen is women, young women in the city, look to the government as a solution to put off having a family or a marriage because you’re relying on the government to support you instead of being united with a husband, where you can support yourself and your husband can support, and you guys can all combine together But I just find it so ironic and so interesting that a heavy percentage of the individuals that voted for him were female.”
