Description

Jack is back with a breakdown of the politics, strategy, and power plays driving the week’s biggest stories—from Washington gridlock to New York City’s campaign trail.


The latest on the government shutdown stalemate. Should Democrats trust Republicans to negotiate healthcare subsidies?


Back in New York, the mayoral race is heating up fast. With Mayor Adams out, will he throw his support behind Andrew Cuomo? Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa is ramping up fundraising, and changing his image, while Governor Hochul rallies behind progressive Democrat Zohran Mamdani. What would his victory mean for next year’s elections?


Plus, New York’s looming multi-billion dollar deficit and how fiscal trouble could shape Hochul’s political future.


Give it a listen!
