Mike Murphy on Mayor-Elect Mamdani and Democrats’ Future

The voters have spoken, and we have the first indication of what they think since the election of 2024 which put Donald Trump back in the White House for a second term.Our focus is what these results say and what are their implications for the future.Joining me is Mike Murphy, a Republican strategist who has advised candidates including John McCain, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jeb Bush and now co-hosts the popular political podcast Hacks on Tap with David Axelrod and John Heilemann.It’s an important moment; it’s the first time we’ve heard from voters since Donald Trump returned to the White House.We’ll talk about many things: what mattered most to voters, what these results tell us about Donald Trump and the Democrats, one year since the presidential election - and one year before the midterms.We’ll also look at the candidates, including the governor-elect of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger, the governor-elect of New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill, and the mayor-elect of New York City, Zohran Mamdani.We’ll ask whether there are common themes and narratives and what impact these results may have on the midterms and the shaping of future presidential candidates.For more, please visit: www.charlierose.com
