Zohran Mamdani secured the New York primary as the Democratic nominee for mayor, resurfacing concerns of the Democrat Party’s direction toward socialism. 

On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay discuss Mamdani’s rise to political power that pushed Andrew Cuomo out of the running. Melissa and Scott liken Mamdani’s affluent background to that of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and discuss Mamdani’s proposed communist policy plans for New York. They also predict and analyze the future implications for the people of New York if Mamdani wins the mayoral race, and the weary future of the Democratic Party as a whole. Tune in to hear their discussion!
