Transcript
00:00How you doing?
00:02Okay.
00:03Quick question, very quick question.
00:05Yeah.
00:06Zoran Mamdani.
00:07Yes.
00:08Are you going to support him?
00:09Yes.
00:10You are.
00:11What do you make of some of the folks in your party who are concerned about his politics?
00:15Well, he's very novel.
00:18He's very left-wing.
00:19Some people are going to be concerned.
00:21I do not believe he's anti-Semitic, as some people say.
00:24Did you endorse him in the primary?
00:26No, I didn't.
00:30I endorse him.
00:33No, I endorse Scott, and I said vote second for Brad Lander.
00:37I mean, what do you make of the, what does it say about where your party is right now to nominate a Socialist Democrat as the mayor of New York City?
00:46I think it shows that there's a lot of firmance in the party, a lot of dissatisfaction with where the party and the country and the city are.
00:56And then, what does it say about just how far left your party has gone?
00:59Well, that remains to be seen.
01:01What do you mean?
01:02Well, we don't know how far the party is going to go.
01:05This is one election for one person.
01:08Okay.
01:09I appreciate it.
01:10And you know, some members like Laura Gillen says she can't get behind him because-
01:13Okay.
01:14Is it going to cause a division within your party?
01:16I'm sure people go in different directions.
01:19I mean, I don't know if I'd call it division.
01:23We'll see.
01:24I can't say anything.
01:25I can't say anything.
01:26That's all.
01:27Okay.
01:28Okay.
01:29All right.
