Part 5/12:
Transitioning from international sports and politics, the discussion shifts focus to the upcoming mayoral race in New York City. Mandani provides an analysis of the current political makeup, highlighting that Mandani himself identifies as a socialist Democrat, currently holding a commanding lead with about 90% of the vote. In contrast, figures like Cuomo, who has been a lifelong Democrat but now runs as an independent, trail significantly with roughly 10%. Republican candidates struggle even more, with less than 1% of the vote—pointing to a city that has shifted markedly to the left.
