Can a DSA candidate running on free buses, free childcare, and a rent freeze become mayor of New York? Polling first among declared candidates, NY Assembly member Zohran Mamdani is no symbolic candidate. He's has a strategy to win and a commitment to left-principles that has even disgruntled lefties like Brie saying things like "he's the real deal." In this episode, he talks Mayor Adams' and his scandals, Andrew Cuomo's threats to enter the race, and the details behind that viral Valentine's Day ad.
