Not much will change with Eric Adams' withdrawal from the New York City mayor's race, but it is a good moment to reflect on how we reached this point. Zohran Mamdani is going to be the next mayor because progressives spent years laying the groundwork for a candidate like him. If the city's business and real-estate interests wish to have real political influence, they need to put in the same kind of sweat equity. Plus, Bradley ponders the "art" of Trump's TikTok deal, assesses the Democrats' prospects for capitalizing on a government shutdown, and gets Meaghan and Hugo to play a game about, yes, state recognition.
This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
