Mamdani-Endorsed Marxists Win Three New York House Primaries
About this episode
Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss major wins for socialists in New York City congressional races, a few encouraging results from Tuesday's primaries, a bad bipartisan Social Security proposal, and what to call Democrats who abandoned their principles to support Graham Platner.
First, they wince as avowed Marxists win the Democratic nomination in three New York City congressional districts. They were all endorsed by socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Is this additional proof that open socialists are taking over the Democratic Party or will their radicalism actually help Republicans in November?
Next, they do find a few silver linings in Tuesday's primary results, including Jim's preferred candidate, Alan Wilson, winning the GOP nomination for governor in South Carolina and really bad losses by Jack Schlossberg and George Conway in another New York City congressional race.
Then, they shake their heads as Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno joins Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren in proposing the elimination of the Social Security tax cap. The goal is to shore up an entitlement that is sprinting toward bankruptcy, but Jim and Greg explain why this is the wrong approach and consider why Sen. Moreno would support this.
Finally, Greg unveils a new term for Democrats who cast aside their supposed principles to rally behind Graham Platner's U.S. Senate campaign. And naturally, Jim has a few Platner jokes ready to go as well.
