Zohran Mamdani, the Socialist Who Could Be NYC's New Mayor (Rerelease)

In this episode of the Odd Lots podcast, hosts Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway interview Zohran Mamdani, a New York State Assemblyman and candidate for mayor, about his policy platform. Mamdani discusses his democratic socialist views, focusing on addressing income inequality and the high cost of living in New York City. Key topics include rent freezes, housing regulations, public housing, and the proposal for municipal-owned grocery stores to combat food deserts. The conversation also explores strategies for improving public goods like the subway system, raising corporate and income taxes to fund city services, and Mamdani's approach to building a competent and diverse administration.
