Emily discusses how Mamdani's likely victory signals the ascendance of the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party, and unpacks the explosive Virginia AG race, where Jay Jones's candidacy has been plagued by leaked text messages wishing suffering on a political opponent's children and an alleged "puppy-kicking" incident, leading Republicans to frame the election as a battle for "decency" and character.Watch it on the Undercurrents website: https://unherd.com/undercurrents/ Hosted on Acast.
