Ro Khanna

Well, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, tell you why.

And I, you know, I've campaigned in Canada for three candidates for elections.

I haven't campaigned.

I campaigned for Abigail Spanberger, who's going to win in Virginia, Mikey Sherrill.

And I've supported Mamdani because of the movement he's had.

I think Mamdani success was based on two things.

One, the the recognition that New York City was unaffordable and just speaking about that unaffordability.

So there are certain things which are pretty practical.

Most people don't pay for the buses anyway.

They're on the buses without paying the ticket.

And if he wants to make the buses free, that's a reasonable policy.

But he was basically saying, well, you can't afford to live in New York.

And none of the other candidates really spoke about that.

They were speaking about crime and public safety, and they weren't talking about the economy.

And the other thing is, and I have a

differences on him on the Middle East.

I'm for a two-state solution.

I condemn globalizing the Intifada.

But he was saying, look, there are too many people that are being killed in Gaza and whose policies are wrong.

And that resonated with people in New York City.
