The immediate gut reaction from many seems to be a mix of “Here we go again” and a healthy dose of skepticism. It’s hard not to notice the timing of this move, especially considering the mountain of allegations swirling around Trump and his own connections to the late Jeffrey Epstein.

It seems that a fresh voice in the political arena, Mamdani, is actively seeking guidance from Democratic governors on a range of crucial issues, including the ever-present challenge of navigating the political landscape with Trump. It’s almost refreshing to hear about a leader, especially a newer one, not claiming to have all the answers. Instead, Mamdani is showing a willingness to learn and collaborate, which is exactly the kind of teamwork we need to see more of in politics.
I have to say, this approach seems pretty smart.… Continue reading
