In this episode, I sit down with political strategist Bill Neidhardt to break down Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani’s decisive Democratic primary victory and Bill’s role advising the pro-Zohran independent expenditure effort. We discuss how Mamdani’s win fits into the broader landscape of progressive politics in New York and draw comparisons to the movement in Chicago, where Bill now works closely with Mayor Brandon Johnson. From Queens to Chicago, we explore the strategies, challenges, and momentum behind today’s left-wing victories.
