Following Mamdani's absence from the Columbus Day Parade and the Israel Day Parade, Cohen examines what those decisions mean for Italian Americans, Jewish New Yorkers, and the promise of being a mayor for all New Yorkers.

The central question: Can a mayor truly represent everyone if some communities feel left out?
