The buzziest political word of the year is “affordability” — it’s the mantra that carried the insurgent progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani to victory in New York City’s mayoral primary, and that Democrats across the country have since raced to claim as their own.“Affordability is the central issue, the central reason to be a Democrat,” Massachusetts Sen.
