CNN Data Chief Harry Enten Says Establishment Dems ‘Hate’ Mamdami Win Most — Shows Voters ‘Fed Up’

CNN Chief Data Correspondent Harry Enten said the people who hate Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s stunning mayoral primary upset win over former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo are establishment Democrats.

Democratic socialist Mamdani shocked the city and the political world Tuesday night with a primary victory over Cuomo.

On Tuesday night’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip discussed the result with a panel comprised of Enten, Ana Navarro, Brad Todd, Joy Reid, and Arthur Aidala:

NAVARRO: Okay. So, I am not a New Yorker. I live in Miami where we don’t have 50 percent, tax rate.

(CROSSTALK)

NAVARRO: We have — we have our share of insane elections and insane politicians. But this reminded me, you talked about the Dinkins election. To me, this reminded me of — of the AOC —

ENTEN: Yes.

NAVARRO: — versus John Joe Crowley —

ENTEN: Correct.

NAVARRO: — election, where there was this —

ENTEN: You’re correct.

NAVARRO: — establishment Sacred Cow who thought that by — because of his name and because of his pockets, he could walk into it, and there was a young upstart who put a lot of leather. And you know, a lot of — a lot of footwork —

ENTEN: And boots on the ground.

NAVARRO: — and boots on the ground and did it. And so, you know, I — I would say, when it comes to New York, do not end — underestimate —

REID: That’s right.

NAVARRO: — the sweat of these folks.

(CROSSTALK)

NAVARRO: And by the way —

AIDALA: He won. I’m not under estimating him.

ENTEN: I would just say this.

NAVARRO: And I would not have voted for him.

(CROSSTALK)

ENTEN: If — if you were saying that Eric Adams is the person who’s this — loves this result the second most compared to —

(CROSSTALK)

AIDALA: He believed —

ENTEN: — after Mamdani —

(CROSSTALK) AIDALA: He’ll be the anti-Mamdani.

ENTEN: But I will say this. The people who hate this result the most are the Democratic establishment. We have seen poll after poll after poll showing Democratic voters fed up with their leaders in Washington, fed up with their leaders in government.

And all of a sudden, Andrew Cuomo, who five years ago was leading those COVID, you know, press conferences, was this guy who was held up in such high esteem. And now, all of a sudden, the best he can do is what? Thirty — seven —

(CROSSTALK)

PHILLIP: Sixty-two percent —

(CROSSTALK)

PHILLIP: — of Democrats say that they are —

TODD: The Tea Party, this is the Chai party taking over the Democrats. And I run campaigns for Republicans all over the country. If they turn to 33-year-old socialist who have never run popsicle stands, that’s great for us. We’ll win a lot of elections —
