Episode 25: How to Vote for Zohran Mamdani Like New York City Depends on It — Because It Does


Listen Later

This week, it’s all about the New York City mayoral election and the movement behind Zohran Mamdani’s campaign. Host Nick breaks down everything voters need to know before heading to the polls, including his Early Voting experience in Astoria and his Voter Guide for New York City voters. Most interesting is the record breaking turnout from the first two days of Early Voting. Then, learn about the six ballot proposals shaping the city’s future. Hear what they're all about and recommendations on how to vote on them. 

From the voting booth, we head to Forest Hills, Queens for the New York Is Not For Sale Rally, where more than 10,000 people packed the stadium in a show of grassroots power. Governor Hochul joined in support asking everyone to "vote for Zohran to save the country." AOC delivered a rousing speech that called out President Trump directly, while Bernie Sanders urged the crowd to “fight the oligarchy” and take back control of democracy. Zohran Mamdani rounded out a night with wise words from FDR that felt less like a campaign stop and more like a moment in American history.

Make sure to vote now through November 2nd. The last day to vote is Tuesday, November 4th. Go to findmypollsite.vote.nyc for voting hours and polls site information.

Expect next week's episode to be released on Wednesday after the election.
