Zora Mamdani is going to be here in Washington tomorrow, and Republicans have been saying
00:07
that Mamdani is going to be a liability for Democrats next year.
00:11
I know that you guys are trying to focus on the issues and this bill and Medicaid cuts,
00:16
but they're saying that he's going to be the issue for you in elections next year.
00:20
Are they wrong?
00:22
What I'm more concerned about when you're talking about elections coming up,
00:26
I'm concerned about I'm looking at Virginia and New Jersey more than I'm looking at the city of New York, New York City.
00:34
So that's what I'm interested in looking at.
00:37
Medicaid will be on the ballot in those gubernatorial elections, and that's what we'll be looking at.
00:42
But broadly, what Assemblymember Mamdani has talked about are the rising costs that people face.
00:49
I think there's a lesson to be learned there.
00:51
He's talked about rising grocery costs that people face, bus fares, those types of things.
00:58
He's not campaigning on impeaching Donald Trump.
01:01
He's campaigning on reducing costs that people face.
01:04
And I think there's a lesson for us there, too.
