There’s a lot of news to go through today, with the New York City mayoral election Tuesday; the aftermath of the U.S. bombing Iran; continued ICE raids; and how Trump advisor Stephen Miller is basically the shadow president orchestrating his deportation agenda.
Who better to talk to about all this — and how the media is covering these stories —than veteran Chicago broadcaster Joan Esposito, who now hosts a daily radio show on Heartland Signal? (You can listen to her show from anywhere HERE [ [link removed] ].)
So let’s get into the New York Democratic mayoral primary, where progressive Zohran Mamdani pulled an upset by taking out former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. A lot of Democratic establishment figures endorsed Cuomo, despite his sexual harassment scandal.
Mamdani had a big appeal to younger voters and is the breakout star of the party this summer. But are other elected Democrats getting the message?
“I hope it is sending a strong message to the Democratic Party because, as you know from following elections and I know, the lowest turnout, the lowest involvement is always the younger demographics,” Joan notes. “And these are the kinds of candidates [like Mamdami] that are going to get younger people, people who are not 55-plus politically involved.”
