Description

In this edition of Five Things, WNYC’s Janae Pierre and Brian Lehrer break down the mayor’s race after Jim Walden’s exit, including speculation that Mayor Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa could be pushed aside to clear the field for Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo. They discuss the divisions within the Democratic Party, the fight for New Jersey’s governorship, the growing battles over vaccines, the rollout of New York’s school cellphone ban, and how the Mets and Yankees are shaping up for the playoffs.
