In this special episode of <em>Up First</em>, we’re sharing the latest episode of <em>NPR’s</em> <em>Newsmakers</em>, featuring New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Through his first 100 days in office, Mamdani has focused on “pothole politics” — a blend of high-level legislative wins and intense focus on everyday essential services that keep the city running. The 34-year-old mayor has delivered on progressive campaign promises, from more funding for child care to new taxes on the ultrawealthy. He views his government as a model for how Democrats can deliver on policies that benefit the working class.<br/><br/>Mamdani sat down with host Leila Fadel at City Hall to discuss how he views his accomplishments so far, his approach to working with President Trump and the message he believes Democrats should deliver during this year’s midterm elections.<br/><br/><em>NPR's Newsmakers</em> is where you'll find NPR's biggest interviews.
