The three things that candidate Mamdani couldn't stop talking about were universal child care, free and fast buses and freezing the rent.

We asked Bridget how he's doing on those three pledges so far.

Not that anyone would have expected him to deliver on all three already, right?

Right?

I'm thrilled to announce we've secured a pied-à-terre tax, the first in New York's history.

This is an annual fee on luxury properties worth more than $5 million, whose owners do not live full-time in the city.

This tax will raise at least $500 million directly for the city.

How does the city feel about him at this point?

What are his approval ratings?

Wow.

That might be surprising to people.

I was just this morning on YouTube looking at one of his rap videos as, you know, young Cardamon, Mr. Cardamon.

And one of the comments was, this is my mayor.

I live in Helsinki, in parentheses.

People who live in Helsinki and consider Zoran Mamdani their mayor might think he's like the most popular thing since sliced bread and yet less popular at the same time as Eric Adams.

Surely he has critics.

I remember many of them from when he was campaigning.

What are they saying about his tenure so far?

Has he won any of them over or are they still out there?

I don't know.
