A new report reveals that the political machine of former Governor Brian Mamdani has built a diverse “influencer army” that stretches far beyond traditional campaign staff. The group includes local teachers, TikTok creators, a self‑styled “dandy” and even outsiders who do not reside in the state, all working to shape public opinion and rally support. The piece examines how these figures use social media, grassroots outreach and personal branding to amplify Mamdani’s message, while raising questions about the reach and influence of such unconventional campaign tactics.
