All signs point toward a Zohran Mamdani victory in NYC on Tuesday. But will he win with a majority of NYC voters? On the latest GD POLITICS pod, @michaellangenyc.bsky.social explains why the answer to that question will shape Mamdani's likely tenure.

I’ve lived in Wisconsin and the TV news political ads in NYC right now are next level. (I’m at the gym, I don’t watch TV news on weekday mornings at home 🙃)

The Virginia gov polls are kind of all over the place. TBC, variation isn't a bad thing. It suggests pollsters aren't herding, but Mary Radcliffe also picked up on an interesting trend that could be responsible. She and @chaznuttycombe.bsky.social discussed it on the latest GD POLITICS pod:

There's just one problem with trying to get NYC Republicans to vote for Andrew Cuomo...

Tonight is the final New York City mayoral debate 🗽 Last debate featured lots of questions about daily life in NYC... parades, rent, bodega orders, groceries, subway ridership. Here's Leah Askarinam's take on asking the candidates how much they spend on groceries.

"I think [Susan] Collins is definitely endangered." -- @geoffreyskelley.com on the latest GD POLITICS pod

I talked to Steven Pinker on the latest GD POLITICS podcast episode. We covered a lot, but one important takeaway was the social value of "Netflix and chill" and other euphemisms and innuendos 😉

Data extraordinaire @lennybronner.com and I opened up the mailbag on the latest GD POLITICS episode. It's in your feeds now and it's a good one... "Gaza, Gen Z, And A Gay President"

The U.S. is on track for the lowest annual murder rate since data collection began in 1960. It's a major success story and its explanation doesn't fit neatly along ideological lines. The pod w/@jeffasher.bsky.social is in the GD Politics feed now! www.gdpolitics.com/p/video-2025...

Violent & property crime are at or near historic lows, but many of the interventions ppl argue lead to low crime also haven't happened. I.e. police staffing levels are down and the U.S. is still awash in guns. So what's going on? Coming up on today's pod w/ @jeffasher.bsky.social!
