Zohran Mamdani's Political Earthquake in NYC & Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill"

Milan Singh, who currently runs the Yale Youth Poll, returns to break down a major upset in New York politics and what it signals for the future of progressive power. We start with the Zohra Mamdani race and its implications for DSA, machine politics, and the left’s internal contradictions (3:50). We then shift to Trump’s latest messaging pivot on immigration and the right’s ongoing coalition fracture (18:22).From there, we discuss Trump's polling slide and what it reveals about generational messaging gaps, political instincts, and the limits of moral framing (23:00). Later in the episode, we get into the structure of left organizing, potential realignments, and the broader strategic landscape heading into 2026 (43:44).Follow Milan Singh ⁠⁠⁠@milansingh03⁠⁠⁠, Ben ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@BenBartlettt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Max ⁠⁠⁠@MaxLevin23⁠⁠⁠, and Brogressive Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@BrogressivePod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Twitter/X.
