Zohran Mamdani on Netanyahu, New York and Whether A.O.C. Should Be President

Zohran Mamdani on Netanyahu, New York and Whether A.O.C. Should Be President video The Interview NYT 18 July 2026
From Lulu Garcia-Navarro: Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City is riding high.
In an era when the public is sour on politics, recent polls show him actually becoming more popular among New Yorkers.
It’s fair to say that some of that is vibes: As the Knicks won the N.B.A. championship, Mamdani became one of the team’s main hype men, basking in the reflected glow of their victory; the World Cup has been a raging success with New York City awash with celebrating fans; Taylor Swift got married in a secret celebration in the most visible of New York venues.
As his star rises, Mamdani, a democratic socialist, has also been flexing his political power in new ways — his endorsement of three progressive candidates for the House of Representatives gave them the edge against establishment-backed incumbents and contenders, and cemented his role as a kingmaker in the Democratic Party.
Mamdani, of course, also has many detractors, on the right but also among Democratic leaders in Washington who worry about his influence and his aims in pulling the party further to the left.
I sat down with Mamdani earlier this week to talk about what has turned out to be a fascinating, and controversial, experiment in what democratic socialist governance can do in America’s most important capitalist city.

Albany, Georgia In a Town Dominated by One Hospital, the Uninsured Turn to This Free Clinic ProPublica 19 December 2025
In a Town Dominated by One Hospital, the Uninsured Turn to This Free Clinic | Albany, Georgia video ProPublica 19 December 2025
The Samaritan Clinic is a small, free clinic serving people without health insurance in Albany, Georgia.
It was created in 2008 to provide care for people who couldn’t afford medical treatment.
More than 15 years later, the need has changed little.
Today, Albany has one of the highest poverty rates in the state.
About 16% of residents are uninsured, nearly double the national average.
And people here pay some of the highest commercial health insurance rates in the country.
Not far from the Samaritan Clinic is Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, Southwest Georgia’s largest hospital — a nonprofit founded on the principle that patients should be treated regardless of their ability to pay.
So why do some residents turn to a free clinic for care?
This short documentary is part of our five-part series “Sick in a Hospital Town,” about why people in Albany are so sick when the city’s dominant institution is a hospital.

Key moments from the Trump-Mamdani Oval Office news conference Guardian News video 22 November 2025
Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, and Donald Trump had a 'productive' meeting in the Oval Office.
The president repeatedly stepped in to defend Mamdani from hostile questioning from outlets such as the New York Post and Fox News, while Mamdani was relentlessly focused on the issue of making New York a more fair and affordable place to live.
Here are some key moments from their conversation with members of the press.
