Is This Mamdani's Moment

Highly anticipated elections are happening across the country on Tuesday. In states from California to Virginia, Americans will head to the polls in big numbers on November 4th. In New York City, voters are set to pick a new mayor – choosing between former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and the frontrunner, Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani. Even if you don't live in NYC, its election results are bound to affect you in some way— especially with the potential for the city's first Muslim mayor to be going up against a Trump administration more than willing to make him, and the city, a target. So to talk more about New York City's big decision and what Democrats can do, we spoke with Alex Wagner. She's host of Crooked Media's newest podcast, Runaway Country with Alex Wagner.

And in headlines Elon Musk introduces Grokipedia, Israel tests the limits of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, and the government shutdown drags on…and on…and on.
