Summary

Jim Walden, former Mayoral candidate in NYC and esteemed lawyer, joins Sid on this Election Day to talk about the NYC mayoral race, with a significant focus on Andrew Cuomo's candidacy. Jim Walden shares his perspective, suggesting that Cuomo, despite his controversies and the public's general distaste for him, is the only viable candidate to beat Mamdani. Walden cites polling data and voter sentiment, particularly from centrists and the black and Latino communities, as evidence of Cuomo's strong position. He also contrasts Cuomo's experience and policy stances with those of Curtis, ultimately arguing that a vote for Cuomo is a pragmatic choice to prevent Mamdani from winning.
