The Rush Hour With Dave Neal

🚨 Afternoon Rush Hour Podcast 🚨
New York politics may never be the same as Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani cements his status as a political kingmaker, sweeping all three of his endorsed candidates to victory and sending a clear message that the progressive movement is gaining serious momentum. Meanwhile, the Reflecting Pool fiasco somehow finds a new level of absurdity, with fresh updates in the never-ending saga of algae, repairs, and government embarrassment. Plus, Donald Trump abruptly cancels a major bipartisan housing bill signing, putting affordable housing initiatives on ice and leaving first-time homebuyers wondering why they keep getting pushed further out of reach. We're breaking down the winners, losers, and chaos of another wild day in American politics on today's Rush Hour.
