Zohran Mamdani's First Big Decision Will the next Mayor retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch?

NEW: Billionaires raised her. Cops trust her. Elites love her. Activists doubt her. Crime is down on her watch.

But will Zohran Mamdani keep Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner?

My thoughts on Mamdani's first BIG decision:

I normally focus on electoral politics, but this question struck me as an interesting fault-line worth exploring within Mamdani's coalition.

Four Months to November Will the clown car General Election for New York City Mayor actually be competitive?

NEW: Zohran Mamdani shocked the world by defeating Andrew Cuomo. But there’s still a General Election to win in November.

Can a clown car field of Cuomo, Eric Adams, Curtis Sliwa (& the financial elite) actually stop Mamdani?

I map out every scenario:
