Amid the silly season of transition speculation, New Yorkers are waiting to see how Zohran Mamdani, a brilliant messenger, handles the levers of power and who else he's bringing inside of City Hall to help him run the huge machine.

Episode hosted by Christina Greer, Katie Honan and Harry Siegel, and engineered by Noah Smith.
