Turn out will dictate who wins this election. AOC won first time with something like a 14% turn out of voters.. It is imperative for the Republican candidate to turn out the vote if he has any chance.
The fact is the Democommies voted for this communist. That is reality. The communist will win if people do not turn out to vote. This is one election I think Trump needs to make several appearances if he wants someone other than the communist to win.
The Democommies are already campaigning actively for Mamdani, and so I think he will have the advantage, because I do not see money flowing into the Republican candidate.
