This is what foreign election interference looks like.
In my early analysis of what made Mamdani the nominee, I noted that there was high turnout by the Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslim settler population in New York City combined with really low turnout and enthusiasm by traditional Democrats who weren’t exactly enthused by Cuomo et al. The 5% of New Yorkers who voted in the primary were very much a minority. This was a campaign driven by Mamdani’s fellow Indian Muslims in occupied Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Not even in the United States.
More and more people are pointing to Mamdani’s fake social media engagement coming from bot farms out of Pakistan and India rather than from actual New York City social media users. The X feed is flooded with random promotion of Mamdani coming from accounts that otherwise had few likes or views suddenly ballooning into the tens and hundreds of thousands. This is not organic engagement, but manufactured hype driven by enemy foreign nations rigging a US election.
