Zito predicts that Mamdani will fail to deliver on moast of his commitments, estimating he won&#8217;t achieve even half of what he promised, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-is-everything-infastructure-cnbc-host-grills-pete-buttigieg-on-american-jobs-plan\/\" title=\"\u2018Why Is Everything Infastructure?\u2018: CNBC Host Grills Pete Buttigieg On American Jobs Plan\">free childcare<\/a> for children aged six weeks to six years, which she deems financially unrealistic. However, Zito acknowledges Mamdani&#8217;s ability to connect with younger voters by addressing their desire for affordable living and community roots in a city where housing prices are rising sharply compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/job-creators-network-blasts-bidens-misleading-economy-speech-millions-out-of-work-inflation-whipping-out-wage-growth-gas-prices-spiking\/\" title=\"Job Creators Network Blasts Biden&#039;s &#039;Misleading&#039; Economy Speech: Millions Out of Work, Inflation Whipping Out Wage Growth, Gas Prices Spiking\">average wages<\/a>. Mamdani won strong support from newer NYC residents but less so from long-term inhabitants. The article also touches on broader shifts in American attitudes towards economic systems, noting a recent Gallup poll showed capitalism&#8217;s lowest approval rating in six years.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Most of Mamdani&rsquo;s campaign promises are &lsquo;not gonna happen&rsquo;: Salena Zito<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2399372\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Washington Examiner<\/em> senior columnist <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/columnists\/3839530\/what-democrats-are-missing-in-trying-to-recapture-young-people\/\">Salena Zito<\/a> predicted that New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will not accomplish &ldquo;half&rdquo; of what he&rsquo;s promised his supporters.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[Mamdani] is not going to get half of what he said he&rsquo;s going to get,&rdquo; Zito said on the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SCLI5A6kx0E\">C<em>harlie Kirk Show<\/em><\/a>  Tuesday. &ldquo;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3434519\/who-is-zohran-mamdani-socialist-candidate-eric-adams-nyc-mayor\/\">Free child care<\/a> for all between six weeks and six years old.
