0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Find Out podcast. Some really, really crazy political news happening in my state and Chris's state of New York. |
0:09.7 | Zoran Mamdani has essentially cinched the Democratic nomination to be the next mayor of New York City. |
0:17.4 | He is slightly below the threshold that is needed to actually confirm that. But most |
0:22.5 | political analysts who have looked at the remaining votes and how Bradlander came in third place, |
0:27.0 | it is very, very likely that Zoran has got the nomination. And former governor, Andrew Cuomo, |
0:32.9 | has resigned, who was, or excuse me, resigned, conceded. He did resign, he did resign, but he's |
0:38.8 | received both. He's done both. So that actually was technically true. Nobody expected this up |
0:44.7 | until the last, I think, two weeks and especially in the last week. But before that, |
0:48.9 | his initial polling was at 1%. And he's currently at 43 and change, uh, which is by far the largest. |

Policy needs to be thrown out the window at this point. All this focus on these Democratic socialists. Who gives a shit? At this moment, all that matters is the dude won. Winning matters. And I just want to look at a strategy |
1:45.5 | that is a straight shot at victory in 26 and 28. And this dude is showing us how to do that. |
1:51.5 | You know, the only thing that worries me is the next step of like, there's going to be a giant |

2:02.0 | Republicans a huge talking point to when you look, they tried Democratic socialism and it failed |
