The Zohran Situation
Welcome to the podcast Organized Money. You can listen to today’s episode on Apple on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Zohran Mamdani's triumph in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary is sending shockwaves through the political strata. As the populist wing celebrates, establishment Democrats are scrambling to make meaning of his upset victory, and big-money financiers are holding secret meetings to address "the Zohran situation."
On today's episode, Matt and David bring back friend of the show, Zephyr Teachout, to ask how Mamdani did it. Zephyr ran for governor against Cuomo in 2014, and her background as an attorney, professor, and candidate helps us understand what Mamdani's win means for the future of New York City politics, and the party as a whole.
