Tanvi Mizra, an independent reporter from Queens, dives into Zohran Mamdani's explosive rise in the NYC mayoral race.

Mizra also discusses Mamdani's outreach to South Asian communities, his innovative policy promises shaped by street-level feedback, and the complex voting behavior in Black neighborhoods.
