5:08Now PlayingDemocratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani was the surprise winner of his party’s primary for New York City mayor. Independent candidate Jim Walden hopes to gain traction as a moderate voice in the race, saying Mamdani’s proposals for free transit and child care and a rent freeze aren’t realistic. “There is no such thing as free,” Walden, an attorney and former federal prosecutor, tells Connell McShane during “NewsNation Now.” “If jobs go away, if businesses go away, then the economy gets worse, and our safety net gets worse. The answer … is free-market alternatives.”
