"hope is back on the map"

 On You Tube, there's a video with the title:

"Trump, Turn the Volume Up!" - Zohran Mamdani's Fiery Victory Speech Rocks NYC

        It's an interesting speech.  

                (It was made two weeks ago, when he won the election as New York City Mayor.)

I only heard of this guy because I recently listened to an interview with the filmmaker Woody Allen, on a channel called "The Free Press."  The interviewer was a young lady, asking Woody who he planned to vote for in the mayor race in New York City.  She suggested the name "Mamdani," and I thought "Who??"

        Woody Allen answered her, Well, no, he was sure Mamdani's heart was in the right place and he wanted good things for the people, but he, himself, was going to vote for Andrew Cuomo (the "establishment" choice) because he thinks Mr. Cuomo "can do the best job" for New Yorkers.

(It's, as Phoebe Buffay says in a Friends episode - "the age thing.")

The young lady doing the interview had an enthusiasm for Mamdani - you could tell by how she suggested his name; but Woody Allen, though young at heart, is almost 90 years old, and he was going with the already-been-governor establishment guy, son of Mario Cuomo:  Andrew Cuomo (though - it appears - he's apparently a tad problematic)....

        A Comment under the video says, of Mamdani,

"He stood tall against money, lies, and power and won.  

Hope's back on the map."
