This week on The Curve, James Meadway is joined by Kate Aronoff - staff writer at The New Republic - to discuss Zohran Mamdani's resounding victory in the democratic primary for New York City Mayor (0.57).

In the full episode, available to Macrodose patrons, James & Kate also break down:

- Attempts by US republicans to take from the poor and give to the rich via Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, set to cut health insurance for those on lower incomes and hand massive tax cuts to the wealthy.

- Starmer’s Labour government coming a cropper over cuts to disability benefits and facing a backlash from the backbenches.
