John Tarleton Discusses Mayoral Race on Democracy Now
The Indypendent’s Editor-in-Chief John Tarleton has led our local political coverage since 2017 as the left has steadily gained a foothold in New York electoral politics for the first time in decades. On Wednesday, John appeared on Democracy Now to talk about the New York City mayor’s race as the race between Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo goes down to the wire. John and Democracy Now host Amy Goodman discussed how NYC’s ranked choice voting works, Zohran Mamdani’s historic challenge to the neoliberal Democratic Party establishment, the New York Times’s last-minute anti-Mamdani endorsement and more.
Long before he became the breakout star in this year’s NYC mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani appeared regularly in the pages of The Indy and on our Tuesday 5-6 pm news and public affairs show on WBAI-99.5 FM.
