19:45Now PlayingJust days away from New York City’s mayoral election primary, the socialist underdog who could win it all, Zohran Mamdani, joins Mehdi Hasan in a livestream on YouTube and Substack to answer questions from Mehdi and Zeteo subscribers on the state of the race.

Mehdi and Mamdani discuss the different factors at play in his race for mayor, including what he calls “Islamophobic campaigning” by former governor and Democratic frontrunner Andrew Cuomo. “To go to the extent of designing a mailer that artificially lengthens a beard, it is just part of a larger record that Andrew Cuomo has where he refused to visit a single mosque in the more than 10 years he led this state.”
Watch the full video to hear Mamdani’s response to criticism from The New York Times, whether he’ll run as an independent if he loses the primary, if he would endorse Cuomo, and his reaction to the arrest of New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander by masked ICE agents.
