E294: Hot Communist Summer Part 1 w/ C. Derick Varn

As history repeats itself, we dissect Zohran Mamdani's stunning Democratic primary victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo in NYC's mayoral race—a win that sent shockwaves through Wall Street and sparked what hedge fund CEO Dan Loeb dubbed "Hot Commie Summer." How did the Democratic Socialist candidate pull of one of the biggest political upsets in recent New York history? And what potentials does the win provide outside political spectacle?
