About this episode

The episode discusses Zohran Mamdani's victory in the Democratic primary as a symbol of change against the political establishment.

Zohran Mamdani's recent victory in the Democratic primary for New York City's mayor has shaken up the old establishment and is becoming a symbol of progress and real, meaningful change for younger generations, and everyone else, whether or not they like it. With over 40k volunteers and a meter $1.7 million raised, Mamdani's margin of victory against Andrew Cuomo, the establishment candidate who amassed over $25 million, is a message to the core establishment that change is coming, and it's coming soon.
