Sunday, November 9, 2025 - Zohran Mamdani’s NYC: Night workers, & the elite meltdown
Update: 2025-11-09
Description
Guest: Alex Press, Luke Savage
Jacobin writer Alex Press takes us out after dark in Queens with New York City’s democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who took his campaign to the night-shift workers -- taxi drivers at LaGuardia, nurses and residents at Elmhurst Hospital, late-night delivery workers -- the people who keep the city running while the rest of us sleep.
Luke Savage analyzes the bipartisan meltdown that Mamdani’s campaign provoked: billionaires, media moguls, the Democratic Party establishment — all united to stop a democratic socialist.
We talk about Mamdani’s agenda — free public transit and childcare; a $20 minimum wage, regulation of gig companies and labor rights for delivery drivers, freezing rents and more — and why the working-class movement behind him has elites so terrified.
