The Interview: Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY) on Battling The Far Left, Challenging Trump, Israel and His Potential Plans to Run For NY Governor
Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), joins Mo News for a wide-ranging conversation, starting with how his experience growing up in poverty and housing insecurity influences his leadership and how he got to Congress.
We discuss Torres’s criticisms that the Democratic Party lost touch with the working class, as well as how Democrats are trying to fight the Trump administration. Torres talks tariffs, deportations and Israel–as one of the most prominent pro-Israel members of Congress.
Plus, New York state politics: Torres explains his criticisms of New York’s Democratic leadership, his endorsement of Andrew Cuomo for the NYC Mayor’s race and when he will make a final decision on whether to challenge sitting Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul.
🐝 This podcast was recorded from the Mo News office at Industrious at Midtown on 50th St.
