Episode 428: Mamdani Derangement Syndrome Is Real

It seems like no one — from President Donald Trump to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, the New York Post to the New York Times — can seem to line up a clean swing at Zohran Mamdani. Instead, the young socialist who just upended Democratic politics keeps benefitting from the wild shots aimed at him while members of the establishments determined to defeat him play  wild game of chicken against each other. FAQ NYC hosts Christina Greer, Katie Honan and Harry Siegel discuss all that and much more, including a summer of drones vs. sharks, Eric Adams railing at a fundraised in the Hamptons of all places about the elite press supposedly picking on him, and Cuomo’s post-primary conundrum.
