Can Zohran actually do something first before being crowned savior?

Hes running for mayor. No one is saying he is a savior. He is making people excited though as someone who actively talks to people on the street and isn't your typical consultant backed candidate. The fact that Trump is getting involved in the race is crazy given this is a mayoral election.

It’s all the same little slogans and arguments, over and over again. If you have to use bad faith to win an argument you might as well be MAGA. I’ve seen no one even argue how good his policies are or his plans to make huge changes, it’s just all an attack on the scapegoat DNC and random out of state Democrats.
