Ever since Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor two months ago, Republicans have been licking their chops, and prominent Democrats have been squirming.

It’s not easy to move around New York City as Zohran Mamdani anymore.Like when the 33-year-old Democratic nominee for mayor leaves a union meeting to walk to his Manhattan campaign office, as he did one Monday morning in July.

Think you know where the candidates for New York mayor are coming from? Think again. With less than 90 days to go before Election Day, the candidates are all migrating toward the political center, dropping old positions and adopting new ones, freely copying one another’s policies and style along the way.
