Michael Barbaro (host)

How many months?

I mean, I don't want to be presumptuous, but free childcare for all.

We were just talking about that.

It very much is, yeah.

Thank you for your help.

People know this platform like they know the back of their hands.

And now we go to security.

So we're inside this auditorium now, which has a capacity of about 3,500 people, and it very much feels like it's at capacity.

After a very long windup and a bunch of introductory speeches, Mamdani is now finally taking the stage.

Okay, so the rally's now over.

The crowd is spilling out onto the streets of Washington Heights.

And the next stop for us is Mondani's campaign headquarters in Manhattan, where we are going to sit down with him for an interview.

From The New York Times, I'm Michael Barbaro.

This is The Daily.

Today, Zoran Mondani on the movement he's created in New York City, his critique of the Democratic Party,

his courtship of those he has alienated with his campaign so far, and his plans to stand up to Donald Trump.

It's Thursday, October 16th.

Hey, we're here to go to the Mandani campaign headquarters.

Oh, they'll come pick us up?

Okay, I'll text them.
