This week, Reason editors Peter Suderman<\/a>,\u00a0Katherine Mangu-Ward<\/a>, and\u00a0Matt Welch<\/a> are joined by Republican pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson to analyze Zohran Mamdani’s primary win over Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s mayoral race and what it signals about the future of Democratic politics. They also discuss the Senate GOP’s version of President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and how Republican views on gay marriage have shifted since the Obergefell decision in 2015. Finally, a listener question prompts a discussion on Modern Monetary Theory and the risks it poses from a libertarian perspective.<\/p>\n
