New York City will pick its next mayor on Tuesday. While the Democrat Zohran Mamdani remains the frontrunner, independent Andrew Cuomo has cut into his lead in recent polls. Trailing behind both is Republican Curtis Sliwa. Critics of Sliwa, including many in his own party, say his decision not to drop out of the race despite trailing significantly gives Mamdani an advantage. Earlier this week, Curtis Sliwa spoke with FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal about the race, why he says his policies are the best to ‘save' New York City, and why he has resisted pressure from all sides to drop out. Sliwa, a former New York City talk radio host, also addressed comments that he's responsible for the ‘rise' of Democrat Socialist Mamdani and pushed back against accusations that he's running solely for financial benefit. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Republican New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Election Day is just five days away, and the stakes couldn't be higher. The New Jersey Governor race is a "neck and neck" dead heat between Democrat Mikey Cheryl (49%) and Republican Jack Ciattarelli(48%). But the real fire alarm is ringing in New York City, where mayoral candidate Zorhan Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, is being labeled a "terrorist sympathizer" and a "true threat to democracy". House Speaker Mike Johnson warns Mamdani's potential victory signals a "Marxist victory for America" and could lead to NYC being "destroyed from within" due to far-left policies like defunding the police and abolishing prisons. Rita and her listeners discuss the urgent need for strategic voting to block this "extremely dangerous individual", especially since the opposition vote is currently split between Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. Plus, hear Senator Chuck Schumer "hem and haw" to avoid endorsing Mamdani. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're just about a week out from Election Day, and I have to say, this is what I live for. These are the kind of stories that really scratch the itch for anybody who loves the game of politics as much as I do. We've got real contests, real dollars behind them, and actual electoral stakes. Yes, I know it's not a presidential year, but this is the sandbox where some serious groundwork gets laid. And for as much as I hate the off-off-year calendar, I love election season more than anything. Here's my breakdown of where I think the chips are going to fall in November.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Starting in California, we've got Prop 50. Gavin Newsom has staked a big chunk of political capital on this one. It's pitched as a pushback on Republican redistricting, with the messaging ultimately landing on “protecting America from Trump.” What started off messy got refined quickly, and with Newsom's team sticking the landing, I see a 10 to 15 point win. McCarthy was supposed to pour in $100 million to fight it, but as of now, the actual spending is suspiciously light. All that adds up to a clear Democratic win.Now onto Virginia: Winsome Earl Sears vs. Abigail Spanberger. I'm heading up to D.C. this weekend, and originally thought I'd be bouncing around Virginia to catch campaign stops. But Sears? She's nowhere to be found. Spanberger, while not the most electrifying candidate, has managed to avoid major blunders post-Jay Jones scandal. The polling tells a consistent story; Spanberger holding a lead that's grown since the scandal broke. I'm calling it Spanberger by eight. Could be tighter, but it's hard to see Sears overcoming the fundamentals working against her.As for Jay Jones, man, what a collapse. DUI, community service for his own super PAC, and leaked texts about shooting a rival politician? That's how you lose an election. Miyares hasn't trailed since that story broke. Nate Silver might be holding out hope, pointing to early voting and ticket-splitting, but my money's on Miyares by one. A close one, but still a loss for Jones. This scandal made a difference, period.New Yorkers better get ready for Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He hasn't been behind at all in public polling, all while Cuomo is clawing for relevance. Meanwhile, Curtis Sliwa isn't pulling enough Republican support to matter to anyone but Cuomo. The energy just isn't there for a last-minute surprise. Mamdani by 13.And then there's New Jersey. The Mikie Sherrill vs. Jack Ciattarelli race is the sleeper of the night. Sherrill has led for most of the race, but recent polling has things tightening. Trafalgar and Coefficient both show her up by one. Republicans are feeling bullish, and if this ends within three points, they'll have reason to. That would mean New Jersey, at minimum, becomes a fringe battleground in 2028. Not quite Arizona-level swing, but enough to force Democrats to spend real money defending it. I'm predicting Sherrill wins — but just barely.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:32 - Election Predictions00:23:08 - Update00:24:53 - Trade Deals00:30:58 - Shutdown00:38:10 - Israel00:44:36 - Interview with Austin Padgett01:38:03 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Gavin Newsom is officially running for President — and he WILL pose a threat to Republicans. Make no mistake Gavin Newsom is no push over. Still, Grant Stinchfield is calling it what it is: a desperate power grab by a failed governor trying to polish his record for a national audience. In this episode, Grant goes through every supposed “policy success” of Newsom’s — from homelessness to crime to education to taxes — and can’t find a single real win for the people of California. The Golden State is crumbling under his watch, and now he wants to do to America what he did to California, ruin it. Plus, Grant issues a clear call for Andrew Cuomo to step out of the race for New York City Mayor — not Curtis Sliwa — making the case that Cuomo’s scandals and authoritarian record have no place in American leadership. He will only prolong the misery of New York while creating more Zohran Mamdani's.

What a Mamdani Win Would Mean for Local Communities**: As the mayoral race heats up, we examine how a Mamdani administration would impact working-class families in New York City, with a focus on affordable housing, policy prescriptions, and the potential shift in national politics, featuring insights from Laura Flanders and journalists working around the country for this month's Meet the BIPOC Press.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  Wherever you are in the county, you've probably heard the name “Zohran Mamdani”. New York City's mayoral race is a national story, and it's hard to overstate the significance of the leading candidate in this moment. If elected, Mamdani would become the first Muslim-American and only the second Democratic Socialist Mayor of the largest city in the U.S. His victory, on a promise to make New York affordable for working people, would have implications for politics everywhere. The race is already garnering both excitement and anxiety. President Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding for New York City if Mamdani wins. From Chicago to Dearborn, Michigan, journalists are watching. In this installment of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, Laura Flanders speaks with Felipe De La Hoz, investigative immigration and policy reporter whose work has been featured in The Intercept, The Washington Post, New York Mag and The Nation; Osama Siblani, publisher and founder of The Arab American News, the largest Arab American newspaper in the U.S., and Asha Ransby-Sporn, organizer and writer for In These Times and co-founder of Black Youth Project 100, where she led the group's national organizing program.
