0:00.0	Good evening once again. I am Stephanie Ruhl. You are watching MS now and welcome to the nightcap.
0:10.8	We are now 346 long days away from the midterms. And tonight is a story of two of the most high profile members of America's political parties, Zoran Mamdani,
0:22.7	on the left, and Marjorie Taylor Green on the right. I was not expecting these stories
0:27.4	tonight, and I don't think anyone else was. This week, the president cut ties with Green,
0:32.0	calling her a traitor after she criticized some of his policy decisions. Well, tonight,
0:36.3	she says she's had enough, and she is

1:28.1	her loyalty to the spirit of the MAGA movement crystal clear. Just a few hours before Green's
1:33.9	announcement and meeting no one expected. Zoran Mamdani, Democratic mayor elect of New York City,
1:40.3	visited Donald Trump at the White House. The president, you all know this, has hurled insults at Mamdani, who called Trump directly
1:47.5	in his election night victory speech, called him out.
1:50.6	Nobody was sure what to expect today, but I am not sure anyone on planet Earth expected
1:56.7	what we actually got.
1:59.8	I just want to congratulate.
