## Resource

Zohran Mamdani says the fight over New York City’s primaries is really about whether a working-class movement can still beat money, lobbies, and smear campaigns. In this condensed recap of Breaking Points, hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti speak with guest Zohran Mamdani about Claire Valdez and Darlina Chevalier’s campaigns, the politics of Gaza, rent, wages, ICE, and the push to redirect money from war to housing and local communities. Instead of watching the full episode, get the key arguments and context in a much shorter listen: how outside spending, AIPAC criticism, gentrification, identity attacks, and corporate influence are shaping the race, plus why these candidates believe organizing can overcome disinformation and big-money opposition. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
