An underappreciated dynamic: NYPD unions mostly stayed out of the election, and did not endorse Tisch. Though some have called Tisch the NYPD pick, it's not obvious what rank and file or unions want--she was the ruling class pick. This means Zohran's real fight with the NYPD hasn't happened yet.

Zohran showed that a socialist can take City Hall—but the ruling class still forced him to keep Jessica Tisch at the NYPD. For Zohran to fight the police unions and win, the Left has to build power beyond the ballot box.
