New York, New Left | The Roundtable Ep. 274
New York assemblyman (and amateur rapper) Zohran Mamdani has hit upon a distilled blend of socialism, anticolonialism, and woke omnicausery to secure a Democratic primary win in New York City’s mayoral race. Does his victory signal the party’s new direction after months of post-election flailing? Legal policy analyst and friend of the Institute Inez Stepman joins the hosts to discuss Mamdani’s rise and chances of victory. Then: the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Trump v. Casa doesn’t end the birthright citizenship debate, but it does free up the executive from judicial overreach and could do a lot to restore constitutional order. Plus: listener feedback, fellowship insights, and Fourth of July food and reading recommendations!
