Episode notes
Zohran's Populist Surge
- Zohran Mamdani surged after Eric Adams dropped out and now leads polls, showing voters prioritize fresh direction over establishment names.
- Krystal Ball and Saagar note his appeal ties to addressing New York affordability rather than culture-war messaging.
Cuomo's Israel Focus May Backfire
- Cuomo repeatedly attacked Zohran on Israel and Hassan Piker, a tactic that failed in the primary and risks alienating general-election voters.
- Saagar suggests Cuomo may be positioning for a post-mayoral pro-Israel fundraising career rather than winning voters now.
Straightforward Apologies Land Well
- Zohran handled past policing tweets by offering a direct apology and framing a balanced focus on safety and justice.
- Hosts credit his straightforward apologies for neutralizing follow-ups and building credibility with NYPD and voters.
