This week, Ron Steslow and Susan Del Percio (MSNBC political analyst and crisis communications expert) break down New York City’s mayoral race and what a likely Zoran Mamdani win would signal for Democrats, how “personality politics” and populism are reshaping both parties, and what’s driving the current government shutdown fight. 

In Politicology+ they unpack the disturbing revelations surrounding Virginia Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones.
