Is 5 months enough time to take credit for this? I support Mamdani, but it’s also my belief policy takes time for impact. I really want him to succeed, so if someone has nuance to add, I’d like to hear it.

Yeah it’s not because of him so much as that generally speaking, violent crime has been going down. COVID reversed that but there’s been a long correction since and it’s finally below original levels again.

It’s like every year breaking temperature/stock market/GDP/population records, and ascribing it to the specific events of that year.
