Summary

New York City Mayoral race leader Zohran Mamdani headlined a campaign rally last night alongside a defiant Letitia James where they both targeted President Trump and billionaires living in the city. It was her first public appearance since she was indicted on federal charges of bank fraud and making a false statement. Meanwhile, polling shows Mamdani has a double digit lead over the other two candidates Mario Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa with just three weeks from the election. FOX's John Saucier speaks with Terry Schilling, political analyst and President of the American Principles Project, who says Mamdani's socialist policies experiment will fail in the end.

0:34.7	that works, or even history history and how these free grocery stores
