New York City mayoral candidate Whitney Tilson joined me this morning to talk about his mayoral race in America’s largest city.
He talked about the economic growth theme in his campaign, his opponent Zohran Mamdani (“super-dangerous…extremely radical”), education reform, crime and safety, housing (“unleash the private sector…‘real estate developer’ are not three pejorative words”), taxes (“We already have the highest tax rates on both individuals and businesses in the country. And we’re already losing population, we’re losing businesses”), and the ideological rifts between the far left and more moderate elements in the Democratic Party nationally and in New York City.
“We Democrats are losing the working class on affordability, taxes, crime and safety…then you throw in the crazy social issues where we’ve allowed ourselves as a party to be defined by the far left,” he said.
Thank you to Tilson for joining and to everyone else who tuned in. If you missed it, the video is embedded above, along with a rough auto-generated transcript.
