28:52Now PlayingThrough the first 100 days of his time as mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has been focused on “pothole politics” -- a blend of high-level legislative wins and intense focus on delivering the everyday essential services that keep the city running. The 34-year-old mayor has delivered on progressive campaign promises from more funding for childcare to new taxes on the ultra-wealthy. He views his government as a model for how Democrats can deliver on policies that benefit the working class.
In his episode of NPR’s Newsmakers, he sits down with host Leila Fadel at City Hall to discuss his first 100 days in office, his approach to working with President Trump, and the message he believes Democrats should deliver during this year’s midterm elections.
