My guest is Felix Biederman, a co-host of @ChapoTrapHouse. We discuss Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory in NYC. Part 2: After the 2024 presidential election, progressive media focused on the rightward swing of young men. However, in 2025, Zohran carried young men (ages 18 - 29) with an overwhelming +40 margin. These historic outcomes shatter many previous interpretations and force us to reframe certain narratives. Can the center of the US political establishment hold? 0:00 Intro 0:48 Zohran & young men 9:17 Trump 2 vs Zohran 17:19 Media vs voters 34:52 NYC politics 42:28 Affordability vs billionaires 55:56 Social democracy & healthcare 1:04:33 Background & childhood 1:12:24 Lessons for 2028
