Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Mamdani’s triumph is the sharpest jolt to the Democrats since Trump’s defeat of Kamala Harris last November. What is the meaning of Mamdani, I ask Bannon. I add that Mamdani’s diagnosis of New York’s affordability crisis sounds quite similar to Bannon’s description of America’s. The two seem to agree on 70 per cent. “Fifty per cent,” Bannon corrects. “That’s still a lot.”</p><p>Such as what? “Politics today is all about authenticity,” he replies. “Mamdani’s campaign was today’s equivalent of Barack Obama’s. He was walking down grocery aisles chatting on TikTok.” He accepted every interview request and relied on grassroots organising. Cuomo had name recognition, his campaign raised almost $40mn and secured Bill Clinton’s endorsement. His appearances were curated.</p><p>“The traditional Democratic party is dead,” Bannon says. “Mamdani blew it up.” Do you share the conservative view that an unabashed socialist and supporter of the Palestinian cause is a gift to Trump? Bannon shakes his head. “You shed more tears for answered prayers than unanswered prayers,” he replies. “Mamdani can bring people out . . . Populism is the future of politics.”"</p><p><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/d85f74e1-c27a-4363-a7f2-501951173c62" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ft.com/content/d85f74e1-c27a-4</span><span class="invisible">363-a7f2-501951173c62</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Populism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Populism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DemocraticParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticParty</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Elites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Elites</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a></p>
