Susan J. Demas joined Dean Obeidallah to break down last night's New York primary results, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani went 3-for-3 with his endorsed congressional candidates — including pulling off the biggest upset of the night when Darializa Avila Chevalier knocked off 10-year incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat.
Susan wasn't surprised: Mamdani campaigned on a bold agenda and he he’s still making bold moves. Her bigger takeaway was that the winning candidates ran on concrete policy — housing, healthcare, and affordability — not just anti-Trump messaging. Democrats who talk about what they're actually going to do for people are the ones breaking through.
On Trump’s approval numbers — now in the low-to-mid 30s on the economy — Susan said he’s acting like a man painfully aware of his own mortality who’s more focused on building monuments to himself than governing. Just looking at his lies over the green reflecting pool. And Susan also talked about her latest column for Lincoln Square, The Hypocrisy is the Point.
