About this listen

 Michael Smerconish sits down with veteran NYC political strategist Jordan Barowitz to unpack one of the most shocking political upsets in recent memory. How did Zohran Mamdani, a little-known democratic socialist, surge past establishment figures like Andrew Cuomo to become the likely next mayor of New York City? What does this mean for moderates, for the Democratic Party nationwide, and for the future governance of the most complex city in America? From social media wizardry to anti-Trump backlash, Barowitz breaks it all down—with sharp insights on ranked-choice voting, Eric Adams’ prospects, and whether NYC is ready to be run by a movement, not a machine.
