Summary

As Election Day wraps up, Jordan Klepper recaps the suspenseful NYC mayoral race infused with Islamophobic fearmongering of Zohran Mamdani and an uphill battle for Andrew Cuomo, culminating in an 11th-hour scandal over a Billy Joel song. Plus, Ronny Chieng reports that Cuomo is feeling confident, thanks to his lucky O.J. Simpson-style Ford Bronco and other criminal-lookalike charms. The eyes of the world seem to be on the New York City mayoral race, so Grace Kuhlenschmidt conducted her own Times Square exit poll to ask non-New Yorkers which candidate they endorse for an election they can't vote in. “There’s always hope if there’s action.” Former Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, talks to Jordan about her new memoir, “Hope In Action.” She details her experience of being elected to office at the age of 34, the double standard she faced in the media because of her youth and gender, and the solidarity she felt from other female political leaders in her country and around the world. They also discuss how a Nordic welfare state creates a system of more equal opportunities, the benefits of a multi-party parliamentary system, and why it’s imperative that young people from diverse backgrounds participate in the world’s democracies.
