YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThere’s a lot of news to go through today, with the New York City mayoral election Tuesday; the aftermath of the U.S. bombing Iran; continued ICE raids; and how Trump advisor Stephen Miller is basically the shadow president orchestrating his deportation agenda.
Who better to talk to about all this — and how the media is covering these stories —than veteran Chicago broadcaster Joan Esposito, who now hosts a daily radio show on Heartland Signal? (You can listen to her show from anywhere HERE.)
So let’s get into the New York Democratic mayoral primary, where progressive Zohran Mamdani pulled an upset by taking out former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. A lot of Democratic establishment figures endorsed Cuomo, despite his sexual harassment scandal.
Mamdani had a big appeal to younger voters and is the breakout star of the party this summer. But are other elected Democrats getting the message?
“I hope it is sending a strong message to the Democratic Party because, as you know from following elections and I know, the lowest turnout, the lowest involvement is always the younger demographics,” Joan notes. “And these are the kinds of candidates [like Mamdami] that are going to get younger people, people who are not 55-plus politically involved.”
