It's true that Mamdani is a skilled improviser but that's counterintuitively a result of his superior preparation — spending time and energy to hone your speaking style, memorize talking points etc frees up cognitive load to notice and react to what's around you instead of thinking about what to say
Dude is such a natural and charismatic communicator. Something occurs that would make someone else stumble or lose focus and he just rolls it into his speech almost like it was prepared. That takes not just talent but instinct.
