N.Y. Democrats unite behind Harris while the mayor and the City Council scuffle


Listen Later

Last Sunday, President Joe Biden rocked everyone's weekend when he announced that he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Since then, Harris has secured enough support from delegates to become the presumptive democratic nominee for president. How quick was the New York delegation to throw its support behind the brand new candidate? NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Kelly Mena and New York political director Bob Hardt discuss the second ‘where were you when….’ weekend in a row, and how a switch at the top of the ticket could affect races here in New York.

After that, Mayor Eric Adams’ Charter Revision Commission released its final ballot proposals, which come a mere two months after the commission was initially established. Through the release of these proposals, the mayor has knocked off a Council’s proposal on this November’s ballot which would have curtailed the mayor’s power. The “Off Topic” team looks at yet another conflict brewing inside city hall.
