Mamdani’s Late-Night Queer Bar Stop Sparks Enthusiasm, Anticipation
As the mayoral election in New York City approached, Zohran Mamdani, a frontrunner in the race, made a series of appearances at various nightclubs, including LGBTQ+ bars. A video shared by influencer Matt Bernstein showed Mamdani giving a speech at the queer art collective Papi Juice, which was met with cheers from the crowd. Mamdani encouraged supporters to help him win by visiting his campaign website and signing up for shifts. If elected, he would be the first Muslim and Indian American to lead the city and has pledged to support the LGBTQ+ community.
