Is it possible for Mamdani to use soft power, when most of the leadership of the Democratic party didn't want him? I guess he has the governor's endorsement, and allyship with AOC, but a lot of the Democratic machine is not happy that their candidate won.

100%, because he's mayor. He has real power, and you use that to create soft power. Nothing else matters now, he's mayor. They have to deal with him, and by trying to make that easy and being gracious with the people who were against him, he can gain a LOT of soft power.
