Well, let's get to a man who is certainly a part of the story, a part of every story in America because he is just a renaissance man. It's Daily Wire DC Bureau Chief Tim Rice. Tim, great to see you, brother.

Let's just jump right in. We've had 36 hours now to digest the results of Tuesday night's elections in New York where we saw three socialist candidates win democratic nominations. They are almost all certain to be elected to Congress this November, so you're going to get to see them up close and personal working on the Hill.
What has the reaction been from democratic leadership and just rank and file members on Capitol Hill?

**Tim Rice** (3:04)
Yeah, it's a fantastic question, Cabot, because, look, this is not the first time that we have had a radical leftist mayor of New York City who gets elected in a sweep and sort of attains a national spotlight. And all of a sudden, media elites and democratic hopefuls say, you know, this is going to change things, right? Bill de Blasio was going to change things. He was a socialist. He wasn't married to his wife. They called her the first partner. It was so woke. And then obviously it fizzled out. And ultimately, right, the conventional wisdom is, look, these people, obviously New York, it's the city that never sleeps. It's one of the most important cities in the country. Of course, these leaders are going to have an outsized national impact. But at the end of the day, they're mayors, right? They're municipal officials. What this election showed us is that Zoran Mamdani is maybe the first exception we've had to that role in a very long time. Not only does his endorsement matter, not only are his candidates winning, but they're following their shot, right? They're, he's sticking with it. It's not just, it was not a half-assed endorsement. He's sticking with these guys. He built a slate. They were running ads together. And so the reaction among Democrats here in Washington is, oh my God, this is working. He is actually, again, Democrats are always, I think both parties are, but Democrats certainly, right? They're always looking for, I like to say the next Barack Obama. They're always looking for this next local politician who comes up in a Chicago or New York or Austin, Texas or Los Angeles or whatever, someone who could be the next standard bearer. I think Democrats in Washington and across the country are very excited about Mom Donnie now in a way that they weren't a week ago because there is momentum here. He is proving to be an effective political actor, not just in, again, as I said, not just that his endorsement matters and that his candidates can win, but that he is clearly interested, not just in the rhetoric, not just in participating in the national conversation and kind of throwing his thoughts in the way Bill de Blasio did, but in being a kingmaker, in backing candidates, in trying to have an influence on the Congress and in Washington. So, I mean, listen, I was never one to discount Mumdani. He was obviously a formidable politician as his rise from kind of obscure assemblyman to mayor of New York showed, but that election really cements like this is a guy who we're going to need to keep paying attention to on the national stage.
