Den 34-årige borgmesterkandidat Zohran Mamdani er stormet frem, og lige nu står han ifølge meningsmålingerne til at blive borgmester i New York City den 4. november.
Den demokratiske politiker Bernie Sanders elsker ham, men andre dele af partiet er mere lunkne over for hans meget venstreorienterede politik, og de frygter, at han ikke kan stå imod Donald Trumps had til det demokratiske New York.
Donald Trump har kaldt Mamdani en kommunist, men samtidig mener Trump, at det ville være det bedste for Det Republikanske Parti, hvis Mamdani bliver valgt som New Yorks borgmester.
Så hvem er Zohran Mamdani? Et ungt og nødvendigt nybrud for de aldrende demokrater, eller endnu en sejr for Trump-lejren?
