Zeteo’s political correspondent Prem Thakker traveled around New York City to speak with Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brad Lander, the Mamdani-backed leftist trio, to discuss their primary wins, the Democratic establishment, aid to Israel, universal programs, AI and more.
Between the Knick’s championship, World Cup, primary elections and the atmosphere Mayor Zohran Mamdani has fostered, the city is buzzing with energy. The Mamdani-allies dive into how they won their primaries, detailing what’s next in progressive politics and how they hope the movement can reach other communities.
Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brad Lander also discuss the Democratic Party and how they can work together to represent New Yorker’s interests.
