Mamdani In Focus
New York City made a shocking political choice—and it may explain where North America is headed next. In this roundtable on True Patriot Love, we break down Zohran Mamdani’s rise to the NYC mayor’s office and why his platform resonated with voters fed up with the status quo.
Host Paul Micucci is joined by Jim Lang and Mike Wixson to unpack Mamdani’s background, his democratic socialist agenda, and how issues like housing, food costs, and public safety are reshaping politics in major cities.
Key topics covered in this episode:
• What “Democratic Socialism” really means in an American city
• Why housing affordability and rent freezes won over NYC voters
• City-run grocery stores, food costs, and economic pressure
• Crime, mental health, and the limits of traditional policing
• How New York’s challenges mirror Toronto and other Canadian cities
