Democratic Socialist Leads the NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary
RealClearPolitics Podcast - A podcast by RealClearPolitics, Carl Cannon, Tom Bevan

Categories:
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the results of yesterday’s Democratic primary in New York City, where 33-year old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani now leads Andrew Cuomo in a ranked choice election and is likely to emerge victorious. And they talk about the House voting on articles of impeachment against Donald Trump over his military strike in Iran, with 79 Democrats voting in favor. Then, they discuss CNN’s report that an early U.S. intelligence assessment says Iran’s nuclear program was set back by months and its core components were intact, a story the White House rejects. Plus, Kari Lake testified today before the House about the dismantling of Voice of America, alleging the agency had employed foreign spies, violated immigration laws, and misspent taxpayer dollars. Next, Carl talks to National Journal White House correspondent George Condon about this history of presidents, bad language and the F-bomb. And winding it up, Andrew talks to presidential historian Tevi Troy about the life and contributions of author, broadcaster and pundit Ben Wattenberg, who proudly embraced the term “neoconservative" and passed away 10 years ago this month.
