Tonight, Rita Cosby breaks down the crisis gripping New York City’s mayoral election, calling it an "existential threat" to the city and America. Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, labeled a radical extremist, and clear and present danger, holds a double-digit lead that is closing. Rita explores the desperate push for Republicans and conservative Democrats to vote for Andrew Cuomo to block Mamdani. Hear Mamdani’s controversial stance that prisons “do not make us safer” and his proposed system of social workers over police. Plus, investigative details reveal his father’s "radical ideas," including the claim of a moral equivalence between the United States and al-Qaeda after 9/11. Mamdani is "unlike anything America has ever seen before". Tune in for the latest on the critical ground game, the closing vote gap, and why one prominent commentator equated Mamdani to Jackie Robinson (seriously!).
