Did Hot Girls win the New York mayoral race for Zohran Mamdani?
Days before the New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani claimed victory in the Democratic primaries, Cait Camelia and Kaif Gilani walked the length of Manhattan with him during one of his final campaign appearances.
'We jumped in [on the walk] around Washington Square Park and watched these young men come up to him, dab him up, and say, 'Yo, you're so cool. Thank you so much for what you're doing',' said Camelia, 25. 'It's something they've been missing for a long time, someone who can introduce them to progressive ideas and pull them away from that right-wing manosphere.'
Camelia and Gilani are the creatives behind 'Hot Girls 4 Zohran', a collective of young women and men who support Mamdani, 33, and make videos addressing the issues their generation faces, many of which are at the heart of the socialist's campaign. Gilani, 28, said being 'hot' had nothing to do with looks — but a desire to engage with progressive politics.
