There is a simple formula that has vaulted Zohran Mamdani and countless other heretofore unknowns to Democratic Party prominence (“NYC SOS,” June 25).

We had to see it coming, and now it’s arrived.
Our fears that progressive liberals were slowly but surely taking over our city has been in the back of minds for awhile now.

I was born and raised in The Bronx, then lived in lower Manhattan for 15 years.
