About this listen

What can we learn from the rise of NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani? This week, Vox Media’s newest addition Astead Herndon joins Preet Bharara to discuss political coverage in a shifting media landscape, what today’s kitchen table issues say about American politics, and the surprising similarities between Mamdani and Trump. Then, Preet answers your questions on whether the Speaker of the House has to swear in new members and whether the president’s subordinates are immune from prosecution. In the bonus for Insiders, Preet and Astead chat about the role that age plays in elections for both voters and candidates.
