Listen: https://ift.tt/atTEYqs

This week, Zohran Mamdani won the first round of the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City, making him the presumptive party nominee and the early favorite to win November's general election. Endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, he's proposing rent freezes, universal childcare, higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy, free buses, and city-run grocery stores.

On today’s Big Take podcast, we’re featuring an interview Mamdani did with Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway for the Odd Lots podcast a few weeks ago.
