| Abstract: | The article focuses on the use of identity- and fear-based rhetoric in recent New York City political campaigns, particularly in the primary race between Representative Adriano Espaillat and Darializa Avila Chevalier. It highlights how discussions about electing a Muslim representative became contentious, with accusations targeting Haitian and Muslim communities and incidents of harassment. Similar tactics appeared in Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral campaigns, including manipulated imagery and controversial statements linking candidates to Islamic extremism. Despite these efforts, neither Cuomo nor Espaillat succeeded, suggesting that divisive strategies may indicate weakening campaigns amid rising insurgent challenges. [Extracted from the article] |
