Trump’s Election Takeover; Mamdani Backs Hochul | The New York Times Close Up with Sam Roberts

Описание: New York Times Close Up digs into Donald Trump’s push to “nationalize” local elections and what it means for voting rights, election integrity, and democracy in the 2026 midterms, as host Sam Roberts talks with New York Times political reporter Nick Corasaniti, who covers voting and elections nationwide. Then Roberts turns to New York Times New York politics reporter Nicholas Fandos to explain why Mayor Zohran Mamdani is endorsing Governor Kathy Hochul for re-election, how their alliance is reshaping Democratic power between City Hall and Albany, what it signals for progressive versus moderate Democrats, and how it is affecting party politics heading into New York’s 2026 governor’s race.
