39:40Now PlayingOn “Batya!,” the recent gains by Democratic Socialists of America candidates in New York spark questions about whether the movement reflects a working-class shift or broader political realignment.
NYC comptroller and congressional candidate Brad Lander joins Batya Ungar-Sargon to discuss his victory, his call to block military aid to Israel and criticism over his alignment with DSA-backed candidates.
New York gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman also joins the show to explain his use of the controversial term “Kapo” to describe Lander and outline how the DSA surge could impact his campaign.
A panel discussion explores whether the DSA’s momentum in New York could expand nationally, as well as the potential implications of upcoming Supreme Court rulings on immigration for voters and the election cycle.
This episode originally aired Saturday, June 27.
