Yet another brilliant ad from Zohran Mamdani's campaign. His digital team rivals that of Gavin Newsom.

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign has trolled ultra-rich New Yorkers freaking out over his possible election with a new ad featuring The Gilded Age star Morgan Spector.

The 44-year-old actor, dressed as industrialist George Russell from the HBO drama about the mega-rich in late 19th-century New York, gave a dramatic reading of a New York Times piece called “How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?

The article detailed the reaction in the Hamptons, a popular summer getaway for well-heeled Gothamites, to the possible election of a self-described democratic socialist.

Spector has previously referred to Mamdani as a “fantastic candidate” before he clinched the Democratic nomination in July. He is now a favorite to become the Big Apple’s next mayor.

How are the very rich feeling about New York's next mayor?
