You Don't Mess with the Zohran: how did a Muslim socialist win New York's Democratic primary?
Manage episode 491170184 series 3583353
America – and the global Left – has a new political hero: a 33-year-old Ugandan-born New Yorker called Zohran Mamdani. How did a former rapper become one of the most prominent voices in progressive politics in just a few short weeks? Emily Tamkin, in DC, is joined by Rohan Venkat to discuss Mamdani's rise, whether it offers a playbook for anti-Trump politics, or whether this is just another example of America's largest metropolis being out of sync with the country as a whole.
Here are the Cycle Recommendations from this episode:
- Zohran Mamdani’s victory proves it: The ‘gotcha’ mode of fighting antisemitism has to go
- Mamdani’s defeat of Cuomo offers Democrats a path out of the wilderness
- Roti, roses, and ‘Mr Cardamom’: How Zohran Mamdani won a seat in NY’s state legislature
