• Zohran Mamdani: Is this the week everything changes for the Democrats?

  Donald Trump sits down for an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes - the programme he sued successfully for $16m just four months ago.All the while, his poll numbers are at an all-time low due to the government shutdown, as hundreds of thousands of federal workers remain unpaid and food benefits for millions of people run out. And is this the week the real Democrats stand up? Their favourability numbers are also dire, but will the emergence of a firebrand left-wing mayor in New York City, in the shape of Zohran Mamdani, and a handful of positive off-year election results on Tuesday be the spark they desperately need to counter Trump's MAGA agenda?You can also watch all episodes on our YouTube channel.Email us on [email protected] with your comments and questions.
